SAFETY AND 

WELLNESS 

ALERTS IN MY REPORT 

At Greenwood Village, we care about you and 

your family’s safety and well-being, and one of our 

missions is to ensure the safety and welfare of the 

community. As we begin 2017, this month’s report 

has been reserved for some important safety and 

wellness alerts and messages I wanted to bring to 

your attention. I hope you find this information 

useful and valuable in your daily lives. If there is 

other safety information you would like for us to 

share, please call the City Manager’s Office at 

303-486-5745.

MAKE SURE TO SLOW DOWN 

AND MOVE OVER . . . 

I want to remind everyone about the “Move Over” law and 

the severe consequences it could have if motorists do not 

obey this significant law. As we continue to see needless 

crashes across the state, every year several first responders are 

seriously injured including some fatally, because motorists 

simply refuse to move over. Moreover, most of the time, 

motorists are not aware of the law. So I hope some education 

about the law will help prevent future accidents and save 

lives. 

Colorado’s law is very clear requiring motorists to move over 

at least one lane whenever they approach an emergency 

vehicle with its lights flashing. If a motorist is unable to move 

over for example on a two lane road or when heavy traffic is 

present, they are required to greatly reduce their speed. This 

A wreck that occurred earlier this year because of a motorist’s 

failure to move over in Greenwood Village. 

law also protects road maintenance and tow truck operations. 

By moving over, motorists provide a buffer zone for the 

personnel directing their attention to the situation on the 

roadway. 

It’s critical that motorists become familiar with the “Move 

Over” law and react appropriately as several law enforcement 

agencies, including our Greenwood Village Police Officers, 

will continue conducting ongoing education and 

enforcement operations. Motorists in Greenwood Village will 

be stopped and receive a citation if you fail to move over. 

I commend our Police Department for taking the lead on 

this vitally important issue. Recognize GVPD has been the 

victim of this very issue twice this past year. Fortunately the 

injuries sustained will heal. We can always purchase 

replacement vehicles. Had the two officers involved been lost, 

they would have been irreplaceable in terms of their training 

and commitment to our collective safety. 

So please, move over to keep you, your family, and your 

police officers safe. 

CALL 2-1-1 FOR 

COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE 

Sometimes in life you may encounter a situation where you 

need resources to assist but may not know where to begin. 

Mile High United Way offers a free and confidential 

community service that connects callers with assistance on a 

variety of issues such as food, shelter, rent assistance, 

clothing, child care options, transportation assistance, 

substance abuse, senior issues, medical and dental care, 

immigration information, prescriptions, mental health, 

home repair, and volunteer opportunities. 2-1-1 also 

provides help with seasonal needs such as tax preparation 

assistance, school supplies and holiday needs. To inquire 

about services, please dial 2-1-1 or 866-760-6489 toll free, 

or search online, or live chat with a specialist online at 

unitedwaydenver.org/2-1-1. 

TAKE THE PLEDGE . . . 

STAY SAFE NEAR LIGHT RAIL 

Please share the following with younger adults and children 

you know. 

As RTD completes commuter and light rail lines and testing 

of live trains on tracks through metro Denver, citizens need 

to be alert and stay safe. While signals, signs, lights, whistles 

and horns are important safety aids, state law prohibits 

motorists and pedestrians from entering a train crossing

when the bells are ringing and lights are flashing. Motorists 

and pedestrians should always follow safety signs and obey 

warning devices such as flashing red lights and gate arms. 

Here are a few tips to remember the next time you’re near a 

bus or train: 

• Stay off the tracks. 

• Don’t touch those wires. 

• Stand back from moving vehicles. 

• Don’t chase moving trains or buses. 

• Watch those doors. They’re heavy and close automatically. 

• Be patient at pedestrian and vehicle crossings.

OBTAIN A FREE 

RADON TEST 

FOR YOUR HOME 

Did you know that one in 15 homes 

across the United States has elevated 

radon levels? In Colorado, radon is 

present at elevated levels in about 50% 

of homes. With more than 20,000 

deaths each year, radon exposure is the 

second leading cause of lung cancer 

deaths in the United States and the 

number one cause among nonsmokers. 

Tri-County Health Department offers 

free radon testing for residents. 

Tri-County Health Department will 

place a radon meter in your home and 

measure the radon levels for 

comparison to the EPA standard of 

4.0 pCi/l (picocuries per liter). The 

house needs to be closed up (no doors 

or windows left ajar) for at least 12 

hours prior to sampling. Residents will 

receive a written report that 

summarizes the results. This is a free 

service for residents but there is a 

charge for businesses. 

I encourage you to learn about the 

dangers of radon and what can be 

done to minimize health risk from 

exposure to elevated levels of indoor 

radon. Get a radon mitigation test for 

your home today by calling 

Tri-County Health Department at 

303-220-9200.

HIDDEN SUGARS 

IN BEVERAGES 

Ensuring citizen safety includes building a 

healthier community together. Many parents 

and caregivers are not aware of the hidden 

sugar in many of the beverages they give to 

their children. Sugary beverages are the single 

largest contributor of calories to our diet. By 

drinking just one sugary drink a day, a child 

has 25% increased risk of developing type 2 

diabetes, 55% greater risk of being overweight 

or obese, and 150% greater risk of developing 

fat deposits in their liver, contributing to 

diabetes and heart disease. 

Greenwood Village is assisting the Tri-County 

Health Department (TCHD) in educating 

parents and caregivers about the harmful 

effects of sugar and informing them of the 

high sugar content in many of the beverages 

they may be giving to their kids. For more 

information, please visit hidden-sugar.org. GV

PEDESTRIANS: RULES OF THE 

ROAD TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE 

According to the U. S. Department of Transportation, 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2014, 

4,884 people were killed in pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes, 

more than 12 people every day of the year. Though the 

number of pedestrian fatalities fell from 4,901 in 2001, there 

were 65,000 reported pedestrian injuries in 2014; nearly one 

injury every eight minutes. 

Traffic and Pedestrian 

Signals: Pedestrians must 

yield the right-of-way to 

drivers by obeying traffic 

signals, observing pedestrian 

signals and using crosswalks. 

The pedestrian signals are: 

WALK (Constantly 

Lighted): Pedestrians facing 

the signal may cross the 

roadway in the direction of 

the signal. 

DON’T WALK (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start to 

cross the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly 

completed his cross may continue. 

DON’T WALK (Constantly Lighted): Pedestrians may 

not enter the roadway. 

Crossing a Roadway: Always cross the street at a designated 

crosswalk. Pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers. 

Within a Crosswalk: If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, a 

vehicle has to yield. However, if a vehicle is 20 feet away 

from the crosswalk and traveling at 30 mph, 

the pedestrian must yield as the vehicle does 

not have enough time to stop safely. 

Intersections: Be careful at intersections, 

where drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way 

to pedestrians while turning onto another 

street. 

Joggers and Walkers: Joggers and walkers should use 

jogging paths when provided. On public roads, joggers 

should try to select wide roads with good shoulders. They 

should face oncoming traffic and remember to look and 

listen for cars. At night or any time visibility is poor, joggers 

and walkers should be in well-lighted areas and wear 

reflective clothing. 

For more information, please call the Police Department at 

303-773-2525. GV

BICYCLE SAFETY 

AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE 

Before you take 

to the road with 

your bicycle, it’s 

imperative to 

know and 

practice all the 

fundamentals of 

riding a bicycle. 

Did you know 

bicyclists are 

subject to the 

same rules, laws 

and regulations 

as motor vehicles? Ignoring rules of the road that regulate 

passing, riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop signs, and 

other etiquette will determine your fate on the roadway. If all 

else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who has the 

most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will always win 

over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to avoid a 

costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling. 

• Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the 

traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be 

expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go 

over a hill. 

• Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians, 

let them know your position by shouting something like, 

“On your left!” 

• When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement 

of traffic. If you are 

on a road with 

lanes, you must 

ride within a single 

lane. 

• Always check 

behind you when 

changing lanes. 

• Watch out for 

dangerous things 

on the roadways or 

on trails. Road 

litter, puddles of 

water, loose gravel, 

and storm gates can 

cause you to lose 

control of your 

bicycle. 

• Stop at all stop 

signs and traffic 

lights. Be extra 

careful at 

crossroads. Walk 

your bicycle across 

busy intersections. 

• Always signal 

before making a left or right turn. To make a left turn, 

look behind you, hold your left arm straight out and 

proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left arm out 

and up in an “L” shape. 

• Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden 

turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to 

avoid colliding with you. 

• Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone 

could open his or her door unexpectedly. 

• Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you. 

• Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind 

spot). 

• Know your road signs and obey them. A smart bicyclist 

follows the rules of the road. 

• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close 

to the brakes. 

• Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear 

headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on 

around you. 

For more information on driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, and 

motorcycle safety, please call the Greenwood Village Police 

Department at 303-773-2525. GV

2016 CRIME 

STATISTICS RELEASED 

POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS 

VILLAGE REMAINS SAFE 

The Police Department, through their strategic operations 

and community programs, works to ensure the safety of the 

community. In January 2017, the Police Department released 

crime statistics for 2016. 

In 2016, the Police Department continued to solidify the 

implementation of their Strategic Intelligence Deployment 

Accountability Planning (SIDAP) philosophy. The SIDAP 

philosophy is built upon the foundational components of: 

timely and accurate data analysis, rapid and specific 

deployment of resources, effective tactics and proper follow 

up. The idea of putting the “right” people in the “right” place 

for the “right” reason summarizes the essence of what the 

SIDAP philosophy embodies. 

Each month the Police Department leadership staff has a 

mandatory SIDAP meeting. During the meeting, the prior 

month data summary is presented by the crime analyst and 

each police commander presents strategic deployment plans 

both for the past month and for the future month. An 

emphasis is placed on creating positive outcomes, as 

measured both quantitatively and qualitatively, from these 

strategic deployments. Realizing that crime and traffic 

accident numbers fluctuate due to a variety of factors, it is 

critical that we are systematically keeping a watchful eye over 

all of them and then being diligent in our proactive and 

focused response. 

With specific and measurable goals, the Police Department is 

able to clearly articulate how we are serving our community’s 

public safety needs. Utilizing the quantifiable data presented 

during the SIDAP meetings, the Police Department was able 

to deploy target traffic patrols in high accident locations, 

which we strongly believe helped to reduce injury accidents 

to a historic annual low level across the Village. 

The chart below represents the aggressive crime reduction 

goals set by department leaders for 2016. The goals are 

developed by analyzing three years of data and then setting a 

goal to reduce each crime by 5%. Although, we did not reach 

all of the goals set for 2016, we made significant progress in 

community safety by reducing the overall number of injury 

2016 Crime Reduction Goals And Outcomes 


GOVERNMENT 

accidents from 45 accidents in 2015, 

to 32 accidents in 2016. This 

reduction in injury accidents, which is 

identified by using real time data, 

allows department leaders to 

strategically deploy our resources to 

known accident locations. 

Crime And Accident Comparison Chart 

November 2016 To December 2016 

The chart below is a comparative 

example of how we measure and 

analyze crime and traffic accidents 

from month to month. The color 

scheme represents an increase in 

(red), no change in (yellow), a 

reduction in (green) and no 

incidents reported in (black). 

There is no question the adaptation 

of the SIDAP strategic deployment 

philosophy gives the Police 

Department an effective and efficient 

way to prevent crime and efficiently 

deploy police resources. As the Police 

Department integrates additional 

new and planned, technologies into 

operation, it is anticipated that our 

access to time critical data for SIDAP 

analysis will continue to improve. 

We feel very strongly that in turn this 

will allow us to make the Village even 

safer with reduction in crime.

fun winter sports. Before going out onto a frozen lake, pond 

or river, it’s important to take safety precautions to reduce the 

risk of falling through the ice. Knowing how to judge ice 

conditions will also help you make more informed decisions 

while enjoying winter. 

CAREFULLY CHECK ICE CONDITIONS 

• Remember, you take a risk anytime you go out onto the 

ice. Ice thickness is not consistent. 

• Don’t judge ice strictly by appearance. 

• When ice fishing, it is always a good idea to drill test 

holes as you progress out onto a lake to help judge the 

thickness and character of the ice. 

• Beware of ice around partially submerged objects, such as 

trees, logs, or dam structures. 

• Stay away from cracks, slushy areas and darker areas that 

signify thinner ice. 

• Be aware of ice that forms at the edge of the lake during 

the fall and melts at the edges first in spring. 

• Be aware of ice covered with snow. Sometimes the snow 

serves as insulation. Other times, it has the opposite effect 

by insulating the surface from freezing. 

• Never go out onto the ice alone. A friend could rescue 

you or go for help if you fall through. 

• When changing locations on the ice, always walk at least 

10 yards apart from your friend. 

• Always inform someone of your destination and expected 

time of return. 

• Always wear a life jacket or personal flotation device over 

a snowmobile suit or layered winter clothing. Life jackets 

can provide excellent flotation and protection against 

hypothermia. 

• Assemble a personal safety kit, no larger than the size of a 

man’s wallet, and carry it on your body. The kit should 

include a lighter, pocketknife, compass, whistle, and 

waterproof matches. 

• In addition to the above safety equipment, carry ice picks, 

a rope and cellular phone. These items could save your 

life. 

• If you bring your pet, always keep it on a leash and away 

from the shoreline.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU 

FALL THROUGH THE ICE 

If you can’t get out of the cold water by yourself, take 

appropriate actions to extend your survival time while 

waiting to be rescued. 

• Stay calm and use a whistle to attract help. 

• Act slowly and deliberately to conserve heat and move 

slowly back to where you entered the water. Expect a 

progressive decrease in your strength and ability to move. 

• If you are wearing a snowmobile helmet and your face is 

in the water, remove the helmet as quickly as possible 

because it can fill with water and cause you to drown. 

Hold onto it to keep afloat. 

• Once on the ice, try to push yourself forward on your 

stomach or roll over on your side to keep the weight 

distributed over a greater surface area. Do not stand up 

until you have moved onto the ground or an area of solid 

ice. GV

GREENWOOD VILLAGE FAMILY MEDICINE 

8200 East Belleview Avenue, Suite 204-C • 303-221-5700 

www.greenwoodvillagefamilymedicine.com • Open Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Fridays by appointment 

Greenwood Village Family Medicine 

has been providing exceptional 

healthcare that is focused on the needs 

of patients in the City of Greenwood 

Village for the past 14 years. The 

practice is led by Dr. Terese Donch 

who is board certified by the American 

Board of Family Medicine. She 

believes in offering primary care that is 

personalized and she promotes a 

program of active health management 

that is individualized to address each 

person’s needs. Over her many years of 

practice Dr. Donch recognized the 

inherent limitations that existed when 

her focus was stretched to the limit by 

having a multitude of patients to see 

each day. She was increasingly unable 

to spend the kind of time needed to 

develop the relationship with each 

patient that provides the best care. She 

decided that a change had to be made. 

Just as people spend time and 

resources to ensure their financial 

future, Dr. Donch believes the same 

level of attention, if not more, is 

critical to ensure an individual’s health 

future. To those ends Dr. Donch has 

implemented a new approach to caring 

for her patients by offering an 

innovative, unique care model which 

started this year. Through her 

prevention-based active health 

management model, Dr. Donch 

provides a framework for all clients to 

be healthy by choice, not by chance. 

Dr. Donch believes that much of the 

illness in today’s world is determined 

by lifestyle which is largely ignored 

within the traditional medical practice. 

That traditional approach is based on 

episodic care, which involves only 

seeing patients when they are sick. 

Care at Greenwood Village Family 

Medicine is always provided by a 

physician that is focused not only on 

current ailments, but also on fostering 

a collaborative environment designed 

to equip patients with the tools they 

need to achieve optimal wellness. 

Current conditions are managed while 

developing strategies to help educate 

patients and keep them on track as 

they modify their lifestyle in an effort 

to prevent further illness. This is done 

by combining quality medicine with 

prevention-focused active health 

management. Empowering patients by 

giving them knowledge and emotional 

support to take the steps needed to 

improve their own health is the goal. 

The program includes: 

• An annual comprehensive health 

evaluation tailored to and focusing 

on your lifestyle, habits and 

personal strengths to create your 

personalized annual health plan 

with monthly follow-up visits to 

ensure success. 

• Same day/next day appointments 

while enjoying minimal wait times. 

• Access to extended (1 hour) 

appointments at your preferred 

times whenever possible. 

• 24-hour access to Dr. Donch via 

telephone, text and email.

VOLCANO 

9632 E ARAPAHOE ROAD, 303-662-8111 

Volcano Asian Cuisine, also known as Volcano in the DTC 

area, has recently relocated to Greenwood Village, at 

9632 E. Arapahoe Road, just east of I-25, in the west end of 

the Shops at Greenwood Village. 

At its previous location at 

Havana and Arapahoe in 

Centennial, Volcano was known 

for a wide variety of Chinese, 

Sushi and Hibachi Grill cooking. 

The new Volcano is a modern 

Chinese and Sushi restaurant 

with a selection of traditional Chinese dishes, such as Spicy 

Boiled Fish, Mini Pork Buns, etc. 

Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe; John Hebers, 

DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce; and Mayor 

Ron Rakowsky celebrate Volcano grand opening. 

Volcano is a 

locally owned 

and operated 

small business. 

The owners, Jay 

and Xin, natives 

of China, who 

came to the U.S. 

for graduate 

school and 

worked in several 

corporations 

prior to their 

venture in the restaurant business, contribute their success to 

their diverse background and abilities to connect with 

customers and employees. For several years and counting, 

Volcano has been a key supporter of the Cherry Creek 

Diversity Conference, Integrated Family Community 

Services, and many organizations within Asian communities. 

Among Volcano’s notable fans are Colorado’s very own 

Denver Broncos, to whom Volcano has been catering for the 

past three years. 

Volcano is open for lunch, Happy Hour and dinner seven

NEWEST ARTS AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL MEMBER 

CYNTHIA MADDEN LEITNER 

Museum of Outdoor Arts’ President and Executive Director 

Cynthia Madden Leitner co-founded 

the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) 

with her parents, Colorado developer 

John W. Madden Jr. and his wife 

Marjorie Madden in 1982. Designed as 

a “museum without walls,” MOA’s 

original mission followed the definition 

by integrating the arts into commercial 

landscapes and architecture to create 

synergistic environments for everyday 

living. Beginning with a donated 

outdoor collection of 12 sculptures 

placed in Greenwood Plaza, the collection now has over 200 

monumental sculptures installed throughout the Denver 

Metro area. In 1995 The Colorado Governor’s Award for 

Excellence in the Arts was awarded to Cynthia for the 

realization of MOA’s unique vision. 

Cynthia has curated over 200 exhibitions for the Museum of 

Outdoor Arts and more than 20 exhibitions for other arts 

organizations during her 35-year tenure as President and 

Executive Director. She has worked with local, national, and 

international artists including Nick Bantock, Sanfte 

Strukturen, Daniel Sprick, and Claudy Jongstra. In 1999 

Cynthia co-curated A View from Denver with the Denver Art 

Museum for the White House Rose Garden. Among the 

Museum’s publications are Portrait of a Museum and Secret 

Rooms; the films “Palazzo Verdi” and “Sacred Water at 

Burning Man” both aired on PBS. Cynthia has also 

spearheaded monumental projects such as creating Design 

and Build, a renowned education internship for emerging 

artists, building Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (FGA) from an 

earth sculpture into the largest outdoor live music venue in 

Colorado, and designing and creating Element House, an offthe-grid 

home near the site of Charles Ross’ Star Axis. 

Among civic activities, Cynthia serves on the PLACE 

advisory board, and the Greenwood Village Arts and 

Humanities Council. She has also served on the board of the 

International Sculpture Center, is an Honorary Trustee of The 

Women’s Foundation of Colorado, and a founder of the 

National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, 

D.C. Cynthia has also been selected for the Denver Mayor’s 

Commission of Arts, Culture and Film, the Denver 

Foundation’s Arts and Culture Committee, the Colorado 

Business Committee for the Arts, and the Advisory 

Committee for the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Denver. 

Cynthia and the Museum 

of Outdoor Arts have 

been honored with the 

following awards: 

Distinguished 

Contributions to Women
