CITY MANAGER
JIM SANDERSON
RETIRING
At some point in our
lives, we’ve all worked
with someone who has a
philosophy of leadership
that we can all try to
emulate. Someone with
high standards for
quality, and committed
to setting goals and
instilling strategies to
achieve them. Someone
who never sacrificed his
own ethics and values to
accommodate others, and
committed to always do
the right thing — integrity.

On October 27, Greenwood Village
City Manager Jim Sanderson will
retire after serving the Village for 21
years. Jim’s tenure at the Village
includes serving as City Manager from
2006 to the present; Police Chief from
2001 to 2006, and Public Works
Director from 1996 to 2001.
During his career at Greenwood
Village, Jim has made outstanding
contributions to our community, and
achieved significant accomplishments
in every department he touched.
His ability to see the big picture, be a
problem solver, direct change for the
better, and lead employees to move the
Village organization to an outcome
based organization has contributed to
making our Village and Village staff
the community and people we are
today.
On behalf of Greenwood Village, the
City Council, staff, and myself, we
thank Jim Sanderson for serving
Greenwood Village in the utmost
professional, responsible and ethical
manner. In your career, you never
compromised quality in every aspect of
City Manager Jim Sanderson
and Mayor Rakowsky.
your work, or in every position you
held. With every decision you made,
you always put the citizens of
Greenwood Village first, and for that,
we thank you. You truly made a
difference in our lives and be assured
the Village is a better place because of
your leadership over the past 21 years.
Enjoy your retirement Jim, you
deserve it!
INSPIRED
TO GIVE
Many families in Greenwood
Village make family giving a habit,
integrating philanthropy into family
life. This is an excellent way to pass
on healthy attitudes about money
and helping others. It’s always
gratifying to me to hear about our
Village youth giving back to people.
Teaching our children to acquire the
habit of charity at a young age will
help them be inspired to help and
reach out to others in desperate
times of need.
I want to highlight four Village
youth who were inspired to help
people because of the aftermath of
Hurricane Harvey.
After Hurricane Harvey, brothers Ryan
and Connor Strouse and Delaney
Lenig went door to door selling
Hershey bars for Houston, the boys’
hometown. Their plan was to send all
the money they collected back home
to their family friends who lost so
much as a result of this catastrophic
event.
When the boys and Delaney visited
with the Grope residence to sell the
candy, Aaron Grope made the decision
that he wanted to help, too. He had a
birthday coming up, he talked to his
mom and asked that in lieu of gifts,
could he request his friends bring
money for the family in Houston he
had never met. Aaron followed
through with his plan and mailed the
family a check for $370 in September.
These four children of our community
have set a great example of kindness,
humility, leadership, and responsibility.
Their demonstrated behavior should
inspire and encourage all of us to want
to do better. After all, living by a good
example impacts many people. Their
work impacted me; I hope it made a
lasting impression on you as well.
Left to right: Aaron Grope, Ryan Strouse,
Delaney Lenig and Connor Strouse.

IN REMEMBRANCE
28 YEARS LATER
Twenty-eight years ago, Captain John Hager of
South Metro Fire Rescue (formerly Castlewood Fire
Protection District) was killed while fighting a fire
in a strip mall at the southwest corner of Yosemite
Street and Belleview Avenue in Greenwood Village.
In September, my wife Margaret (a former board
member of Castlewood and South Metro) and I,
surrounded by South Metro personnel, Pipes and
Drums, and Honor Guard, attended a
remembrance ceremony in honor of Captain John
Hager along with his family.
As the bagpipes began to play, firefighters stood at
attention for fallen firefighters. The South Metro Honor
Guard marched in unison, as they presented a wreath at the
memorial. MetCom aired a commemorative message and
firefighters slowly raised their arms in an Honor Salute and
Participants in remembrance ceremony in honor of Captain John Hager.
everyone observed a moment of silence. The event changed
and continues to influence South Metro Fire Rescue and
their families through today. As time may pass, Captain John
Hager will always be remembered.

ARAPAHOE ROAD/
I-25 INTERCHANGE
PROJECT UPDATE
I want to update you this month on
the status of the Arapahoe Road and
I-25 Interchange project. The
following questions/answers will
provide you with current information
on the project and what’s expected in
the coming months toward project
completion.
Is it accurate that construction on
that bridge/intersection began in
May 2016 and will end in July 2018?
Construction began in May 2016 and
major traffic impacts will be done by
the end of this year.
What has currently been completed
and what work remains to do on the
project? Work completed to date
includes: The I-25 bridges over
Arapahoe, all I-25 paving, Arapahoe
Road is in its final alignment. The
center median of Arapahoe Road has
been constructed. Utility relocation
work is complete. Retaining walls are
in place on the south side of Arapahoe
Road. Improved business access in the
northeast quadrant of the interchange
is in place, Yosemite Street is in its
final alignment and sound walls have
been built next to the Walnut Hills
subdivision in Centennial. Work that
remains includes: Final paving and
striping on Arapahoe Road (scheduled
for October 1); final paving on
RAMBLE WITH RON IN OCTOBER
Yosemite, Boston, Clinton and the
I-25 ramps; landscaping, irrigation;
final aesthetic work; and signal and
sign installations. Because some of this
work depends on weather conditions,
all of it might not be done until spring
2018.
What types of closures should drivers
expect in the coming weeks and
months? No other major closures are
planned. Through this fall there will
continue to be short-term lane closures
as they work toward project
completion.
How much will the overall project
cost? What are the funding sources?
Construction costs are $66 million
and most of the project (about $50
million) is being funded through
CDOT’s RAMP (Responsible
Acceleration of Maintenance and
Partnerships) program. Additional
funding was supplied by Arapahoe
County, the City of Centennial, the
Have some ideas or suggestions to share about living or working in Greenwood Village?
Walk and talk with Mayor Ron Rakowsky from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. (weather permitting) on:
Monday, October 9 — Westlands Park, 5701 S. Quebec Street
Monday, October 16 — Tommy Davis Park, Swim Club Lot, 9200 E. Orchard Road.
Registration is not required. For more information, please call the Mayor’s Office at
303-486-5745. Check for updates of the monthly schedule for Ramble with Ron at
www.greenwoodvillage.com.
City of Greenwood Village and the
Southeast Public Improvement
Metropolitan District.
Are similar projects being done at
other points along I-25 in the metro
area or beyond? A project in
Colorado Springs to reconstruct the
I-25 & US 24 (Cimarron Street)
interchange to improve traffic flow is
wrapping up in the next few weeks.
CDOT can provide more information
on other current projects.
Is the project’s goal mainly to
mitigate traffic at the intersection?
Will it have other effects? This project
will improve Arapahoe Road through
traffic by adding a lane in each
direction and removing the I-25
bridge piers that used to separate travel
lanes. Removing these bridge piers has
enabled triple left turns from the
southbound I-25 off-ramp to
eastbound Arapahoe Road. This
project also widened Yosemite Street
just north and south of Arapahoe
Road, realigned the Frontage Road in
the northeast quadrant of the
interchange to improve business access
and built noise walls adjacent to the
Walnut Hills subdivision to reduce the
impacts of traffic noise.

ENSURING A SAFE
community
The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free
environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of
your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or
feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save the life of a neighbor.
HALLOWEEN
SAFETY TIPS
For Kids
• Never go into a stranger’s house or

• Make sure your parents know
where you are going and who you
are going with.
• Decorate costumes, bags and sacks
with reflective tape and stickers.
• Carry a flashlight with you at all
times.
• Use costumes that are light or
bright enough to make you more
visible at night.

Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents
on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.
QUICK TIPS TO
SAVE WATER
INDOORS
The hoses are rolled up and the
sprinklers are turned off, which makes
for a good time to shift our focus to
using water efficiently indoors.
Here are some quick tips to make the
most of your indoor water use:
• Spend five minutes or less in the
shower. Quick showers use less
water than baths.
• Fix all leaky toilets, faucets and
pipes. Check for a leaky toilet by
putting a few drops of food
coloring in the tank. If the color
appears in the bowl after 30
minutes, the toilet is leaking. You
may need to replace the flapper to
fix the leak. Check the water supply
lines under your sink for damp
spots or bulges in the hose, which
may indicate a leak.
• Replace an old toilet with an ultrahigh-efficiency
toilet, which can
pay for itself over time in water
savings. Denver Water offers rebates
for qualifying models — visit
denverwater.org/Rebates to learn
more.

TAKING WATER
INNOVATION TO THE
NEXT LEVEL AT
NATIONAL WESTERN
Denver Water, CSU join forces to
develop a world-class center for
water research, innovation and
education.
Denver Water and Colorado State
University are working to imagine
collaborative research, educational, and
lab spaces at the National Western
Center.
Innovators, scientists and leaders of
today must find opportunities to
research, test and demonstrate the
unknowns in a risk-free environment.
And, for Denver Water, this has to be
done while continuing to provide the
same high-quality, reliable supply
already being delivered today.
A mission that’s easier said than done
— until now.
Enter, Denver’s National Western
Center: A proposed 250-acre campus
located at the nexus of I-70 and the
South Platte River, with a focus on
promoting innovation.
As part of the new National Western
Center, Denver Water has partnered
with Colorado State University to
develop a Water Resources Center that
will focus on research, policy,

education and innovation in water.
First and foremost, the center will
house Denver Water’s new worldclass
water quality lab.
By moving the lab from its current
location at Marston Treatment Plant
to the new center, the water quality
team will have the ability to perform
more than 250,000 tests per year,
with state-of-the-art equipment.
For example, Denver Water is
already using recycled water for
irrigation at many parks and golf
courses, and other large industrial
and commercial operators, helping
to free up drinking water supplies
for, well, drinking. But, there are
many other sources of water that
could be treated to certain levels for
a wide-range of uses that haven’t
been researched or tried yet.
But it isn’t just about testing the
quality of water. The center will
bring innovative thinkers from
across water-related professions, like
water law and policy, and
technology advancement, as well as
experts from the food, agriculture,
recreation and environmental
industries. One of the ultimate goals
of the center is to develop solutions
to ensure Denver Water, and other
water providers across the nation
and world, can continue to provide a
safe and reliable water supply to its
customers while facing challenges
like climate change, population
growth, economic uncertainties,
evolving regulations and other
variables.
Design efforts are underway, with
the goal of breaking ground on the
center in late 2019.

GOT DRUGS?
NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION
DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY
Saturday, October 28, 2017
10 a.m.-2 p.m. at City Hall
On Saturday, October 28, 2017, The
Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) will coordinate a collaborative
effort with the Greenwood Village
Police Department and other local law
enforcement agencies to remove
potentially dangerous controlled
substances from every household’s
medicine cabinets. Collection activities
will take place from 10 a.m. through 2
p.m. at Greenwood Village City Hall
parking lot, 6060 South Quebec
Street. Police Officers will be available
in the parking lot at City Hall so
citizens can simply drive up and drop
off their unused prescription drugs.
The National Take-Back Day provides
an opportunity for the public to
surrender expired, unwanted, or unused
pharmaceutical controlled substances
and other medications for destruction.
These drugs are a potential source of
supply for illegal use and an
unacceptable risk to public health and
safety.
Here are some guidelines for this oneday
effort intended to bring national
focus to the issue of increasing
pharmaceutical controlled substance
abuse.
• The program is anonymous.
• Controlled, non-controlled, and over
the counter substances may be
dropped off.
• All solid dosage pharmaceutical
product and liquids in consumer
containers, with the exception of
chemotherapy drugs, may be
accepted.
• Liquid products, such as cough
syrup, should remain sealed in their
original container.
• Prescription and over the counter
solid dosage medications, e.g. tablets
and capsules will be accepted.
• Intravenous solutions, injectables,
and syringes/needles will not be
accepted due to potential hazard
posed by blood-borne pathogens.
• Illicit substances such as marijuana
or methamphetamine are not a part
of this initiative, but can be dropped
off at the Police Department at any
time for disposal.

MAKING A difference
CDOT TO REDUCE
CONGESTION ON
I-225 SOUTHBOUND
IN DTC AREA
CONSTRUCTION SLATED
TO BEGIN IN OCTOBER
The Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) is launching a
project to cut traffic delays on I-225
southbound in the Denver Tech
Center (DTC). The shoulder will be
converted to an additional lane,
loosening up the bottleneck. This will
be done by re-striping less than a mile
of I-225 southbound from Yosemite
St. to I-25. Work will be done during
the nights beginning in October. The
project should be completed in a
month or less.
There will be access restrictions. A
concrete barrier will be placed to
restrict DTC Blvd. on-ramp traffic to
I-25 northbound only. This will
prohibit drivers from DTC Blvd. from
weaving across lanes, improving the
safety and traffic flow of I-225
southbound.
With traffic back-ups extending over
three miles on I-225 southbound
during the peak travel times,
converting the shoulder to a lane is
anticipated to cut traffic delays in half
during the rush-hours.
The cost of this project is less than $1
million and the work will take up to a
month to complete, as compared to
spending $65 million to build
additional lanes and rebuild bridges,
which would take a couple of years to
complete. The re-striping is a pilot
project and will be evaluated and
monitored for effectiveness. GV
CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS:
• Night-time work on I-225 southbound lasting up to a month
beginning in October
• At least one lane will remain open on I-225 southbound during
over-night construction
• First few nights, crews will set up concrete barriers, preventing
DTC Blvd. on-ramp traffic from entering I-25 southbound
• Remaining nights will be focused on re-striping I-225
southbound
• There will be signage to alert motorists of new traffic patterns

DO YOU WANT TO AGE SUCCESSFULLY?
Everyone may have a different definition of what it means to
age successfully. Maybe it is a desire to stay active and
continue doing the activities you are doing now, or returning
to the activities you love. Maybe you want to stay
independent and in your own home. Whatever your
definition of aging successfully is, A Personalized Physical
Therapist, LLC is dedicated to assisting individuals in aging
successfully.
Dr. Julie Trail D.P.T. and A Personalized Physical Therapist,
LLC, are “Dedicated to Independence” and offers
personalized treatments with the goal of keeping individuals
active and independent as long as possible. Seeing her
grandmother struggle with not being able to return home
after a stroke at the age of 98, fueled Dr. Julie’ s passion to
develop a physical therapy practice to help people stay in
their homes. She believes “It is important to resume the
activities you may have given up due to injuries, pains or just
the fear of getting injured.” Dr. Julie helps people of all ages
stay active doing the activities they enjoy.
No two people are alike and that is precisely why Dr. Julie
will tailor your treatment to meet your individual needs.
During your initial evaluation, she will complete a thorough
history and perform a functional evaluation to determine
your muscle strength and range of motion. She will then
work with you to formulate an individualized exercise
program focusing on achieving your goals for therapy.
Strength, flexibility, balance and independence are the core of
Dr. Julie’ s practice. “I love the challenge of coming up with
an exercise specific to you and the problems that you are
experiencing.”
Dr. Julie wanted to be a physical therapist since she was in
third grade following hand surgery which required postoperative
therapy. She has been a therapist for over 16 years
and she still loves her career. As a generalist, she treats
everything from post-polio, TMJ, vestibular to orthopedics.
She also treats all age groups from teenagers to seniors. “I
love the variety of diagnosis and no two people are the same.”
As a graduate from the Arizona School of Health Sciences
with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Dr. Julie has spent
most of her career at a private outpatient physical therapy
practice and has worked as an inpatient therapist at a local
hospital. She has extensive continuing education experience
including advanced training for vestibular disorders in
addition to being a certified N’ balance instructor. Dr. Julie
has always been passionate about patient satisfaction. This is
the primary reason she decided to open her own clinic in
June 2017. She chose Greenwood Village for her practice
because she liked the “safe and welcoming feeling.”
Personalized treatment is available for orthopedic problems
including pre- and post-surgical joint replacements, overuse
injuries, muscle sprains and strains, ligament injuries,
postural instability including scoliosis, plantar fasciitis,
arthritis, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Dr. Julie also treats
many neurological conditions, including but not limited to,
Parkinson’ s, multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular accident,
post-polio syndrome and migraines. She treats vestibular

NEW ARTWORK IN
WESTLANDS PARK
If you have taken the trail around
Westlands Park lately you may have
noticed some new, artistic additions.
Eight new works of public art were
recently installed throughout the park,
six works by Charles Parson and two
works by Collin Parson. This is the
first time the father/son team have
shown their outdoor works together.
The Greenwood Village Arts and
Humanities Council partnered with
the Museum of Outdoor Arts to create
this outdoor gallery at Westlands Park.
In addition to the outdoor gallery,
these works correspond to an indoor
exhibit featuring additional works by
the two artists at MOA in Englewood.
Charles and Collin Parson respond and
react to each other’s work, both in
concept and format. Each artist creates
objects that remind viewers of the
extraordinary possibilities intrinsic in
common, often industrial, materials,
building on the structures of geometric
forms underlying our world. This
exhibit is an artistic bridge of the two
generations, presenting an opportunity
to harmonize and at times, contrast
today’s definitions of artistic
expression.
The indoor exhibit runs through
December 15 at MOA. The outdoor
sculptures will continue to be on
display in Westlands Park through
August 2018.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
While Charles and Collin Parson have shown their work extensively
in Colorado and across the US, this is the first time the father/ son
team have shown their outdoor sculptural work together.
Charles Parson’s multi-faceted work includes drawings, prints, wall
constructions, sculptures, installations, stage designs and
performance art. His work has been viewed in galleries, art centers
and museums throughout the United States. He has 65 one-person
exhibitions to his credit, as well as numerous regional and national
showings in group shows. Additionally, he has produced many
alternative public art events and large-scale temporary
installations. Charles has taught art throughout the region
including Denver University and the Rocky Mountain College of Art
and Design. He is currently a Professor of Art at the Community
College of Denver.
Collin Parson recently completed his artist residency at RedLine
Denver. An arts administrator, artist, curator and designer he
received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater Design and Technology
with emphasis in Lighting and Scene Design from the University of
Colorado at Boulder and his Master in Arts in Visual Culture and
Arts Administration from Regis University in Denver. His creative
work involves the control of light and color to create vivid
geometric light and space works. Collin currently serves as
Director of Galleries and Curator for the Arvada Center for the Arts
and Humanities in Arvada.
