NEW YEAR, 

NEW CITY COUNCIL 

As we move into the month of January and a new year, City 

Council is off to a great start familiarizing themselves with 

current issues facing Greenwood Village. 

Whether it is visiting with neighboring elected 

officials, following proposed legislation at the 

State Capitol, or meeting with constituents of 

their respective districts, Councilmembers have 

begun developing what their agendas will be for 

the Village over the next two years. Since the 

election, each Councilmember has assumed 

responsibility for representing Greenwood 

Village’s interest with several organizations, 

among them the Colorado Municipal League, 

the Denver Regional Council of Governments, 

South Metro Fire Rescue, Cherry Creek and 

Littleton School Districts, Cherry Creek Water 

Quality Authority, Arapahoe County, and the 

Southeast Business Partnership. I appreciate the 

enthusiasm they have shown and the initiative they have 

taken in developing these important relationships.

RIBBON CUTTING FOR 

I-25/ARAPAHOE ROAD 

INTERCHANGE 

What started in 2007 as a vision in the Arapahoe Road 

Corridor Study is now a reality. The Colorado Department 

of Transportation, in partnership with Arapahoe County, 

the City of Centennial, Southeast Public Improvement 

Metropolitan District, and the City of Greenwood Village, 

celebrated the substantial completion of the Interstate 25 and 

Arapahoe Road Interchange Reconstruction project, seven 

months ahead-of-schedule. Construction began in May 2016 

with a commitment to complete the project by July 2018. 

The completion of this project is a monumental event for 

Greenwood Village and the entire south Denver region. 

The project’s $74 million budget including design and 

right-of-way acquisition, came from CDOT’s Responsible 

Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships (RAMP) 

program and local matching funds of $4.1 million each 

from Arapahoe County, the City of Centennial, the City of 

Greenwood Village and the Southeast Public Improvement 

Metropolitan District. 

Although the project is substantially complete, landscaping 

and final punch list (touch up) items will continue through 

next spring. Intermittent lane restrictions may be required to 

complete this work. 

Improvements made as a part of this project included: 

• Reconstructed the I-25 bridge over Arapahoe Road and

REMODEL OF POLICE 

RECORDS AND LOBBY AREA 

If you visit City Hall, you will see the Police Department has 

a new and improved lobby area. The improvements were a 

result of the Police Department’s efforts to make their lobby 

area both hospitable and safe for everyone. In addition, 

the improvements will improve the efficiency of Police 

operations, redefine the Police Records role within the Police 

organizational structure, and overall, improve customer 

service for every citizen who interacts with the Police 

Department. 

The project was completed in one phase, which took four 

weeks to complete. By moving personnel to different 

locations within City Hall, the Police Department operated 

without any interruptions to service delivery during 

construction. The improvements modernized police records 

to allow citizens electronic access of certain police records. 

New collaborative work stations were also installed for 

Village staff to perform their jobs in a more efficient manner. 

A keen eye was placed on maximizing every inch of space, 

to include a separate supervisory office for the privacy in 

leadership and personnel issues. Lastly, a private area is 

designated for citizens to meet with and talk to police officers 

about community issues. 

RAMBLE WITH RON 

Due to the winter season, Ramble with Ron will be suspended 

until the spring. If you have some ideas or suggestions about 

living or working in Greenwood Village that you would like to 

share with Mayor Ron Rakowsky, send him an email at 

rakowsky@greenwoodvillage.com or call the Mayor’s Office at 

303-486-5745.

Many citizens volunteer for a variety of reasons, but share one 

common goal — adding their effort to the work of others to 

make everyone’s lives better. Volunteering for Greenwood Village 

can be a rewarding experience especially when you see the 

benefits happening right in your own community. Whether it’s 

providing input on a new development in the neighborhood, 

recommending enhancements to a new park or trail, assisting a 

victim of a crime, teaching an art class to a group of youth, or 

planting crops at the Silo Park Garden for food that will go to a 

local food shelter, volunteers get the first hand in shaping a 

community’s future. 

The Village has an array of volunteers across City Hall who 

dedicate their time to serve their local government and the many 

services and programs the Village offers. Greenwood Village will 

continue to offer an outstanding quality of life through the 

continued involvement of our volunteers. 

Thanks again to all the volunteers for your contributions to help 

make Greenwood Village what it is today! GV

LONG ROAD 

RECONSTRUCTION 

PROJECT UPDATE 

Long Road was opened to traffic on 

December 10, however, limited work 

will take place during the winter 

months. The limited work will be 

done during non-rush hour periods 

with one-way flagging operations. 

This work will consist of completing 

the undergrounding of the overhead 

power lines, completing a missing 

sidewalk segment on the east end, 

grading activities and installing water 

line and storm sewer. 

Since the project began in April 2017, 

the following major items of work 

have been completed to date: 5500 

feet of water line installed (75% of 

total), 3100 feet of storm sewer 

installed (85% of total), two-thirds of 

the roadway reconstructed, of which 

two-thirds have been finished to the 

final top lift of paving. Final 

landscaping will be performed in the 

spring of 2018. 

Due to winter weather conditions, final 

paving and landscaping will be 

suspended until the spring of 2018. 

When paving and landscaping resumes, 

it is anticipated to take two months to 

complete. While there may be shortterm 

weekend closures necessary to 

perform the remaining paving activities 

in the spring, no long-term closures of 

Long Road are planned. 

Several unplanned underground utility 

conflicts required modifications to the 

alignment of the new water line and 

the new storm sewer. Unfortunately, 

these modifications have caused delays 

to the completion date of the project. 

While these type of utility conflicts are 

not uncommon to encounter during 

construction of a project of this size 

and scope, the tight timeline to 

complete all of the work and then 

perform the final paving before winter 

was not accomplished.

GET READY FOR winter 

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL IN 

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS 

ICE ISN’T NICE! 

It is winter and residents may 

experience ice issues in front of 

their respective properties. The 

ice build-up occurs when melted 

snow flows into gutters and onto 

sidewalks in shaded areas that 

have a north-facing exposure. 

Due to the freeze and thaw cycles 

experienced during winter 

months, some areas may 

experience more severe icing 

than others. 

SAFETY FIRST 

Ice can be a safety hazard for 

children and adults walking in 

the neighborhoods and can cause 

unwanted slip and fall accidents, 

leading to some surprisingly serious injuries. As a resident, 

you can even become a victim to falling on the ice in your 

own driveway or on your sidewalk in front of your property. 

WHAT RESIDENTS CAN DO 

• Keep curb lines in residential areas free of excessive piles 

of snow allowing for the efficient drainage of the melting 

snow. 

• Be aware of shady spots in front of your property caused 

by large trees, shrubbery, parked cars, two story homes, 

etc. which limit the amount of sun and contribute to 

icing issues. Remove snow piles, compacted snow and 

parked cars on north facing properties immediately after 

snow fall. 

• When removing snow from your sidewalk and/or 

driveway, place the snow on your lawn and refrain from 

shoveling or blowing the snow onto the curb or in the 

gutter which can block water flow thus increasing the 

potential of ice dam formations created during freeze thaw 

cycles. 

SNOW REMOVAL ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS 

Seniors, 60+ or the disabled can call Volunteers of America, 

Colorado Branch, to request assistance as part of their Snow 

Buddies program. Call 720-264-3379 or email 

snowbuddies@voacolorado.org. 

• Clear the snow the length of your property in the 

curb/gutter line to keep it free flowing. Push the snow out 

to the area where the concrete gutter meets the asphalt, 

this extra effort greatly assists in preventing ice dam 

formations 

• Shovel the sidewalks on all sides of your property, the full 

width of the sidewalk down to the pavement. After the 

sidewalk is cleared, sprinkle sand to prevent falls. 

WHAT GREENWOOD VILLAGE DOES 

A “one in and one out” plowing operation in residential 

neighborhoods is implemented. Plow trucks plow from the 

center of the roadway out toward the edge of the roadway in 

both directions. By doing this, snow is equally distributed 

on each side of the roadway leaving a clear path of travel for 

both incoming and outgoing traffic. This snow removal 

method allows for the surface to dry at a quicker rate and 

for the melting snow to flow toward the curb/gutter on both 

sides of the street. Plowing curb to curb in residential areas 

is not performed to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking 

driveways. Snow cannot be piled in the center of the 

roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on the 

roadway. 

IT’S THE LAW! 

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to 

remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours. 

This requirement also includes removal of snow and ice 

from sidewalks in the front and side of a residence (corner 

lots). This requirement does not extend to walkways 

leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks 

or trails abutting the rear property of a residence. Clearing 

snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of the 

occupant.

BELLEVIEW AND 

I-25 INTERCHANGE 

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 

UNDERWAY TO IDENTIFY 

CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS 

Greenwood Village, in coordination with Arapahoe County, 

City and County of Denver, and the Colorado Department 

of Transportation, is beginning the Belleview Avenue/I-25 

Environmental Assessment process. In 2016, the Belleview 

Avenue Corridor Study was completed and identified 

potential solutions to the Belleview Avenue/I-25 Interchange 

corridor. The next step toward constructing changes to the 

I-25 Interchange is to complete an Environmental 

Assessment, required by the Federal Government, in 

coordination with federal, state, and local agencies. 

The Environmental Assessment (EA) will reevaluate 

alternatives that were considered in the Belleview Avenue 

Corridor Study, as well as new alternatives, and will identify 

a preferred alternative for construction. Solicitation for 

professional services was conducted by the project partners in 

the summer of 2017. Staff is currently in the process of 

finalizing intergovernmental agreements and professional 

service contracts with all parties. 

The study is anticipated to begin in early 2018 and will take 

between 18 and 24 months to complete. Staff will be 

reaching out to community members for input throughout 

the process.

Transportation Planner, at 303-708-6133 or email

NEED SOME HELP? 

If you are a resident of Greenwood Village or 

know of a senior or a person with a disability 

who may have a hard time shoveling for any 

reason, ask your neighbors to lend a hand to 

ensure your entire neighborhood is safe and 

accessible. Local boy scout troops and youth in 

the neighborhood are great resources to assist 

with residential snow removal. Don’t forget to 

arrange for someone to shovel your snow while 

you are on vacation or away from your home 

for a long period of time or during winter 

storms.

RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT, INCORPORATED (REI) 

9000 East Peakview Avenue • 303-221-7759 

Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. • www.rei.com 

Need expert advice, clothing or gear 

for your next outdoor adventure? 

Whether you are new to outdoor 

adventures or a seasoned pro, 

Recreational Equipment, 

Incorporated’s (REI) passion for the 

outdoors is a clear reflection of their 

products and can be witnessed on 

trails, slopes and waterways 

throughout the States. 

REI was established in 1938 by a 

group of 23 mountaineering friends in 

Seattle, Washington. Headquartered in 

Kent, Washington, the retail co-op of 

quality outdoor gear has grown to 147 

locations and is the largest consumerowned 

cooperative in the nation. 

The new Greenwood Village location, 

which recently relocated from the Park 

Meadows area, is one of nine stores in 

Colorado. REI offers their own line of 

high-quality award-winning gear and 

apparel, in addition to products from 

the top brands for camping, climbing, 

cycling, fitness, hiking, paddling, snow 

sports and travel. 

As a consumer co-op, rather than a 

publicly-traded company, REI listens 

and responds directly to its members. 

This enables them to focus on the 

long-term interests of the members 

and co-op, and to operate a business 

that plays a vital role in growing 

outdoor participation and protecting 

the environment for future 

generations. While you do not need to 

be a member to shop at or receive 

expert advice from REI, members 

receive a portion of the cooperative’s 

profits each year based on a percentage 

of their eligible purchases as well as 

additional discount coupons. A 

lifetime membership is $20, with no 

annual renewal needed. With its new 

Greenwood Village location, REI looks 

to better serve their more than 

379,000 active co-op members and 

thousands of visitors to the front range 

and surrounding areas. 

REI’s core purpose is “to inspire, 

educate and outfit its members and 

the community for a lifetime of 

outdoor adventure and stewardship.” 

The Green Vest experience offers 

expert advice for your next outdoor 

adventure. They focus on providing all 

the information needed to learn new 

skills, choose and maintain the correct 

gear, and prepare for your adventure to 

enable you to have the most enjoyable 

experience possible. An abundance of 

expert advice from cold weather hiking 

tips to camping with kids, or how to 

choose and maintain snow sport gear 

is available from their trained 

associates and online. REI also offers 

numerous classes, outings and events. 

Stewardship is a high priority of REI

and its members. Each year, REI donates millions of dollars 

to support conservation efforts nationwide and sends 

dedicated teams of volunteers — members, customers and 

REI employees — to build trails, clean up parks and beaches, 

restore local habitats and more. Jerry Stritzke, REI President 

and CEO, emphasizes that “Stewardship is a choice and 

mindset. It means that we look at our business differently, 

and we take individual responsibility for making a positive, 

lasting impact.” 

Since 1976, REI has invested more than $77 million in 

nonprofit organizations that share their goal of creating, 

improving and sustaining access to the outdoors. They give 

70% of their profits back to the community, including more 

than $9 million in 2016. Local Colorado community 

partners such as Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, Leave No 

Trace, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, and Colorado 

Youth Corps received over $243,000 in 2016. REI’s 

investment extends beyond grants. Many of the outdoor 

places where people love to play can remain open and 

accessible only with the contribution of volunteer hours and 

hands-on stewardship by their employees and members. 

In 2015, REI started a movement for people to reconnect 

outdoors over the holidays by closing their doors on Black 

Friday and paying their 12,000+ employees to spend the day 

outside. #OptOutside had an overwhelming positive response 

and more than 1.4 million people and 170 organizations 

chose to close on one of the most popular shopping days of 

the year and spend time outdoors. “REI is committed to 

helping people tap into the joy, renewal and connection that 

comes from spending time outside with friends and family.” 

REI Greenwood Village is located at 9000 East Peakview 

Avenue, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. For more

CUPCAKES AND CALLIGRAPHY 

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re doing modern calligraphy on canvas 

and on a greeting card for gifting! First, you’ll learn a script modern 

calligraphy style of lettering in both upper and lower case and then an 

uppercase serif bold font. We’ll combine the two in a “Bee Mine” acrylic 

canvas painting. 

While that’s drying, we’ll use these same brush lettering techniques with 

watercolor paints on a 5x7” card. 

We will be transferring the drawing to the canvas so there is no previous 

drawing or painting experience necessary! 

Two take-home projects, two alphabets, and lots of options for future 

letterings! Oh, and did we mention there will be cupcakes?

WINTER LANDSCAPE 

WORKSHOP 

Winter 

landscapes are 

a joy to create 

and can be an 

inspiring part 

of a landscape

repertoire. 

This one-day

workshop 

will focus on 

designing winter landscapes and the unique 

considerations associated with painting snow, bare
