GREENWOOD<br />
VILLAGE IS FAMILY<br />
The foundation of society is the family. We start<br />
life with our parents and sometimes siblings.<br />
Many of us continue building the next<br />
generation by creating our own families. In<br />
addition to the family we live with we have our<br />
work family. Last month Village staff family<br />
came together to support one of their own —<br />
Ted Putnam. Ted is battling brain cancer. To<br />
raise funds for related expenses two fellow staff<br />
members in Public Works Vince DeMaio and<br />
Scott Heller volunteered to lose a full head of<br />
Ron Rakowsky<br />

hair and an awesome full beard. Directors<br />
Camie Chapman and Suzanne Moore were<br />
chosen by lottery to do the shaving honors. All<br />
of us at the Village wish Ted a speedy recovery<br />
and return to full-time work.<br />
AN EXCEPTIONAL<br />
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE<br />
AT DELECTABLE EGG<br />
Service is great in<br />
Greenwood Village!<br />
For the past few<br />
months, as part of my<br />
report, I have<br />
highlighted a business<br />
and one of their<br />
employees who<br />
contribute to an<br />
exceptional customer<br />
service experience.<br />
After all, people are<br />
our most important<br />
asset!<br />
Delectable Egg Food Service<br />
Manager Luis Gonzalez and<br />
Mayor Ron Rakowsky.<br />
This month, I<br />
recognize my favorite<br />
waiter at Delectable<br />
Egg Restaurant in<br />
Greenwood Village,<br />
Mr. Luis Gonzalez,<br />
Food Service Manager,<br />
who has been with the restaurant for six years. Luis is my<br />
ideal server because he exemplifies the following attributes:<br />
Cover photo courtesy of Steve Sokolik – Passionate Pixels.<br />
Vince DeMaio, Mayor Ron Rakowsky, Ted Putnam and<br />
Scott Heller.<br />
He is confident in his knowledge of the menu; is friendly and<br />
does not try to sell me something right off the bat; he cares<br />
about what he’s doing; makes me feel welcome; and takes<br />
care of me. Overall, the food and service at Delectable Egg is<br />
excellent.<br />
There are many passionate employees like Luis in Greenwood<br />
Village dedicated to serve their customers. If you know of a<br />
business/employee in our community that should be<br />
recognized, please email mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

Mayor Ron Rakowsky and<br />
Richard Keller.<br />
90 YEARS AND<br />
GOING STRONG<br />
At the June 4 City Council meeting, the<br />
City Council and I had the opportunity<br />
to recognize a young man who gives true<br />
meaning to two sayings, “to be young at<br />
heart” and “you’re only as old as you<br />
feel.” I want to introduce Village<br />
resident Richard Keller. Mr. Keller is 90-<br />
years-old and recently participated in the<br />
Colorado Senior Olympics where he<br />
won 12 gold medals in swimming. Mr.<br />
Keller, a Navy and Air Force Veteran<br />
and Colorado University Engineering<br />
graduate Class of ’54, believes that<br />
vibrant health and fitness is paramount<br />
to living life to its fullest and best; so he<br />
enjoys being active in every respect.<br />
If you are a member of the Greenwood<br />
Athletic Club, you may have met Mr.<br />
Keller as you can find him there several<br />
days a week practicing at the pool for his<br />
next senior Olympic trials. He is also<br />
very active at our Curtis Center for the<br />
Arts as he is a frequent participant of the<br />
Center’s senior classes and events.<br />
ORCHARD<br />

VOLUNTEER DAY<br />
In June, Parks, Trails, and Recreation<br />

and Recreation Metropolitan District<br />
and Orchard Hills — Big Canon<br />
Homeowner Association, hosted a<br />
volunteer day at Orchard Hills Park.<br />

Mayor Ron reports<br />
continued from page 3<br />
Nearly 40 residents (including staff)<br />
of Orchard Hills, Big Canon,<br />
Goldsmith and Canon Villas<br />
neighborhoods came<br />
together to spruce up<br />
the park and pond.<br />
Their efforts included<br />
the installation of new<br />
gravel along paths,<br />
planting flowers,<br />
pulling weeds,<br />
pruning, spreading<br />
new mulch, and<br />
cleaning up the<br />
streams. The project<br />
concluded after three<br />
hours with the group<br />
sharing pizza and<br />
dessert.<br />
Volunteer projects are<br />
a great way to get to<br />
know your neighbors<br />
and show pride for<br />
your Village, the place<br />
you call home. If your<br />

CONSTRUCTION OF SKATEPARK<br />
EXPANSION UNDERWAY<br />
In response to the many requests to add new elements to the<br />
existing Skatepark at the William McKinley Carson Park, a<br />
4,000 square foot expansion is under construction to include<br />
street features, which are lacking in the existing skatepark.<br />
The nationally renowned skatepark firm, Team Pain, led an<br />
interactive public<br />
input process<br />
consisting of two<br />
well attended public<br />
meetings to<br />
determine the<br />
features for the new<br />
addition. The<br />
Village was awarded<br />
a grant from<br />
Arapahoe County<br />
Open Spaces to<br />
assist in funding the<br />
much-desired<br />
addition. A grand<br />
opening is scheduled<br />
for September 8,<br />

MAKING A difference<br />
ORDINANCE<br />
UPDATES<br />
WILD ANIMALS AND WILD BIRDS<br />
This is a “corrected” version from the original version printed.<br />
The Village Code was recently amended regarding wild<br />
animals and wild birds in Greenwood Village. The amended<br />
ordinance allows property owners the ability to protect their<br />
personal and real property from damage from wild animals<br />
when it is safe to do so, allowing the use of both lethal and<br />
non-lethal control activities under certain conditions. The<br />
specific changes are as follows:<br />
• Except as necessary for the protection of real or personal<br />
property against harm from wild animals itemized in<br />
C.R.S. 33-6-107(9) such as coyotes, gophers, raccoons<br />
and rabbits, it is unlawful for any person to willfully<br />
shoot, capture, harass, injure or destroy any wild bird or<br />
wild animal or to attempt to shoot, capture, harass, injure,<br />
or destroy any such wild bird or wild animal within the<br />
city.<br />
• Non-lethal control activities in which there is no direct<br />
contact with geese and that do not result in harm to the<br />
geese, goslings, eggs or nests are allowed.<br />
Although it does allow lethal control of wild animals causing<br />
harm to real or personal property, the ordinance does not<br />
allow the discharge of a firearm except on private property<br />
and provided that discharged projectiles do not leave the<br />
property’s boundary. Other than the exception for protecting<br />
property from damage, the ordinance continues to prohibit<br />
the willful destruction of nests, nesting place, burrows, eggs<br />
or young of any wild bird or wild animal.<br />
For more information on wildlife issues on your personal<br />
property, please call the Police Department at 303-773-2525.<br />
SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT<br />
SYSTEMS (DRONES)<br />
In order to protect public health and safety, the City Council<br />
adopted an ordinance to regulate the use of small unmanned<br />
aircraft (aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds inclusive of<br />
payload and attached systems and components operated<br />
without the possibility of direct human intervention from<br />
within or on the aircraft) where not otherwise regulated by<br />
the FAA. The following is a summary of the new ordinance:<br />
Invasion of Privacy<br />
• It is unlawful for a person to knowingly and intentionally<br />
use a small unmanned aircraft to observe another person<br />
or to capture or transmit an image, sound, or other<br />
physical impression of another person where the other<br />
person has a reasonable expectation of privacy;<br />
Trespassing<br />
• It is unlawful for any person to operate, launch or land a<br />
small unmanned aircraft on or from private property<br />
without the prior consent of the personal lawfully in<br />
possession of the property;<br />
Harassment<br />
• A person will commit harassment if they fly, use, launch,<br />
employ or navigate a small unmanned aircraft system in a<br />
manner MEANT to harass, annoy, or alarm the animals<br />
or human occupants of public or private property, or to<br />
observe; photograph, or visually record an individual or<br />
individuals on private property without permission or<br />
lawful authorization;<br />
Interference with a Peace Officer or Firefighter<br />
• It is unlawful for any person to operate a small unmanned<br />
aircraft in a manner that obstructs, impairs or hinders a<br />
peace officer or firefighter in the discharge or apparent<br />
discharge of his or her official duties.<br />

KNOW BEFORE YOU FLY<br />
UNMANNED FLIGHT SAFETY GUIDANCE<br />
COMMERCIAL<br />
The FAA currently authorizes the use of unmanned aircraft<br />
systems (UAS) for commercial or business purposes on a<br />
case-by-case basis. You may not fly your UAS for commercial<br />
purpose without the express permission from the FAA. You<br />
should check with the FAA for further determination as to<br />
what constitutes a commercial or business use of small UAS.<br />
What is a commercial use of UAS?<br />
Any commercial use in connection with a business,<br />
including:<br />
• Selling photos or videos taken from a UAS<br />
• Using UAS to provide contract services, such as industrial<br />
equipment or factory inspection<br />
• Using UAS to provide professional services, such as<br />
security or telecommunications<br />
What are some examples of commercial uses of UAS?<br />
• Professional real estate or wedding photography<br />
• Professional cinema photography for a film or television<br />
production<br />
• Providing contract services for mapping or land surveys<br />
If you want to use UAS for a commercial purpose, you have<br />
a few options. You can apply for an exemption from the FAA<br />
to operate commercially. You can use UAS with an FAA<br />
airworthiness certificate and operate pursuant to FAA rules.<br />
In both cases you would also need an FAA Certificate of<br />
Authorization (COA). For more information about how to<br />
apply for an exemption, visit<br />
https://www.faa.gov/uas/legislative_programs/section_333/.<br />
RECREATIONAL<br />
Currently, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) may be<br />
operated for hobby and recreational purposes under specific<br />
safety guidelines as established by Congress. Small UAS<br />
flown for recreational purposes are typically known as model<br />
aircraft.<br />
Under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, recreational UAS<br />
must be operated in accordance with several requirements,<br />
including a community-based set of safety guidelines and<br />
within the programming of a nationwide community-based<br />
organization such as the Academy of Model Aeronautics<br />
(AMA). Operators not operating within the safety program<br />
of a community-based organization should follow the FAA’s<br />
guidance at http://www.faa.gov/uas/publications/<br />
model_aircraft_operators/.<br />
What is recreational use of a sUAS?<br />
The recreational use of sUAS is the operation of an<br />
unmanned aircraft for personal interests and enjoyment. For<br />
example, using an sUAS to take photographs for your own<br />
personal use would be considered recreational; using the same<br />
“Know Before You Fly” is an educational<br />
campaign that provides prospective unmanned<br />
aircraft users with the information and guidance<br />
they need to fly safely and responsibly.<br />
device to take photographs or videos for compensation or sale<br />
to another individual would be considered a commercial<br />
operation. You should check with the FAA for further<br />
determination as to what constitutes commercial or other<br />
non-hobby, non-recreational sUAS operations.<br />
What are the safety guidelines for sUAS recreational users?<br />
• Follow community-based safety guidelines, as developed<br />
by organizations such as the Academy of Model<br />
Aeronautics.<br />
• Fly no higher than 400 feet and remain below any<br />
surrounding obstacles when possible.<br />
• Keep your sUAS in eyesight at all times, and use an<br />
observer to assist if needed.<br />
• Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned<br />
aircraft operations, and you must see and avoid other<br />
aircraft and obstacles at<br />
• all times.<br />
• Do not intentionally fly over unprotected persons or<br />
moving vehicles, and remain at least 25 feet away from<br />
individuals and vulnerable property.<br />
• Contact the airport or control tower before flying within<br />
five miles of an airport.<br />
• Do not fly in adverse weather conditions such as in high<br />
winds or reduced visibility.<br />
• Do not fly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.<br />
• Ensure the operating environment is safe and that the<br />
operator is competent and proficient in the operation of<br />
the sUAS.<br />
• Do not fly near or over sensitive infrastructure or property<br />
such as power stations, water treatment facilities,<br />
correctional facilities, heavily traveled roadways,<br />
government facilities, etc.<br />
• Check and follow all local laws and ordinances before<br />
flying over private property.<br />
• Do not conduct surveillance or photograph persons in<br />
areas where there is an expectation of privacy without the<br />
individual’s permission (see AMA’s privacy policy).<br />
If you want to use a model aircraft for recreational purpose,<br />
we encourage you to read the AMA’s Model Aircraft Safety<br />
Code and Community-Based Guidelines. <strong>GV</strong><br />

OUR NATURAL<br />
environment<br />
WATER QUALITY:<br />
EVERYONE<br />
PLAYS A PART<br />
The Village is a beautiful place to live,<br />
work and play. We enjoy parks, trails,<br />
open space and drainageways,<br />
including streams and ponds, and the<br />
entire community takes pride in<br />
protecting and preserving our natural<br />
environment. However, maintaining a<br />
high quality<br />
environment is<br />
no small task,<br />
especially<br />
when it comes<br />
to our surface<br />
water resources<br />
and water<br />
quality.<br />
Although the<br />
Village works<br />
together with<br />
residents and<br />
businesses to<br />
protect these<br />
valuable<br />
resources to maintain quality of life,<br />
we need your help to continue to<br />
make it better. Water quality is<br />
important for all, whether you drink,<br />
fish, swim or enjoy a walk along a<br />
drainageway, we all play a role in<br />
keeping our environment clean and<br />
free of pollutants.<br />
WHAT IS STORMWATER?<br />
Perhaps one of the greatest impacts to<br />
surface water resources is pollutants in<br />
stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff<br />
occurs when rain or snowmelt flows<br />
over impervious (non-absorbent)<br />
surfaces such as rooftops, driveways,<br />
parking lots, and streets. This runoff<br />
moves over these impervious surfaces<br />
and makes it way to storm drains, and<br />
eventually drainageways, streams and<br />
ponds. The runoff picks up trash,<br />
sediment, chemicals (fertilizers,<br />
herbicides, pesticides, oil,<br />
etc.), pet waste, and other<br />
pollutants and deposits<br />
them directly into water<br />
bodies that we use for<br />
fishing, swimming and<br />
drinking. These pollutants<br />
can also affect aquatic<br />
habitat and wildlife.<br />
Stormwater runoff is not<br />
cleaned in a water<br />
treatment plant like the<br />
water used in your home<br />
so it is important to reduce<br />

environment.<br />
ELIMINATING<br />
ILLICIT DISCHARGE<br />
An illicit discharge occurs when<br />
something other than stormwater is<br />
allowed to enter the storm drainage<br />
system. The term “illicit discharge”<br />
generally refers to any discharge to the<br />
storm drain system that is not<br />
composed entirely of stormwater. The<br />
cause can be intentional such as when<br />
someone deliberately dumps<br />
chemicals, waste or trash into the<br />
storm drain. Illicit discharges can be<br />
accidental (from a sanitary sewer or<br />
grease trap overflow or motor vehicle<br />
accident) and unintentional, when<br />
people leave household chemicals,<br />
grass clippings or pet waste in an area<br />
where stormwater may carry the<br />
contaminant to the storm drain.<br />
There are allowable non-stormwater<br />
discharges that can be discharged into<br />
the storm drain. These include but are<br />
not limited to potable water sources<br />
including firefighting activities that do<br />
not contain hazardous materials, street<br />
sweeper wash water, landscape<br />
irrigation, dechlorinated swimming<br />
pool discharges, uncontaminated sump<br />
pumps/foundation drains, water line<br />
flushing, agricultural stormwater<br />
runoff, diverted stream flows,<br />
uncontaminated groundwater and<br />
others listed in the Villages’ municipal<br />
code. The Village has a regulatory<br />
mechanism that includes enforcement<br />
actions and trained staff to detect<br />
pollutants, but also relies on residents<br />
and businesses to report suspicious<br />
activity that may contribute to an<br />
illicit discharge.<br />
The goal of the Village’s illicit<br />
discharge detection and elimination<br />
system is to reduce the frequency and<br />
environmental impacts of illicit<br />
discharges that are accidentally or<br />
intentionally dumped into the storm<br />
drain system.<br />
HOW CAN YOU HELP?<br />
Becoming aware of the outcome of<br />
everyday activities will reduce the<br />
chances of pollutants becoming<br />
accidentally introduced into our water<br />
and the environment. As Village<br />
residents, each of us can play a role in<br />
protecting our water and the<br />
environment. The next time you see<br />
water runoff during a snow or rain<br />
event, think about the people<br />
downstream who count on us for clean<br />
water and wildlife that depend on it<br />
for their survival, just as the people<br />
upstream affect the water you drink<br />
and use as well.<br />

• Never dump anything down a<br />
storm drain.<br />
• Ensure carpet cleaners and mobile<br />
pet washing operations dispose of<br />
wastewater to an indoor drain or<br />
drain to a landscape area where the<br />
water can infiltrate.<br />
• Dechlorinate pool water before<br />
draining and try to divert the flow<br />
to a landscape area to allow the<br />
water to infiltrate into the ground.<br />
Ensure that no downstream<br />
flooding or erosion occurs.<br />
• It’s more convenient than ever to<br />
recycle paint products in Colorado.<br />
Participate in PaintCare Colorado<br />
to dispose and recycle your unused<br />
paint materials. Visit<br />
www.paintcare.org or call<br />
855-724-6809 to locate a retailer<br />
near you. If you have leftover latex<br />
or water based paint, you can also<br />
dry it out or fill it with kitty litter<br />
and once absorbed, set into the<br />
trash for pickup.<br />
• Participate in the Village’s<br />
Household Hazardous Waste<br />
curbside pickup by calling<br />
800-449-7587. Visit<br />
www.greenwoodvillage.com for a<br />
list of acceptable items for pickup.<br />
• Pick up and properly dispose of pet<br />
waste. Pet waste stations can be<br />
found along Village parks and trails.<br />
• Keep your street clean of debris and<br />
litter by keeping waste receptacle<br />
lids secured.<br />
• Properly dispose of yard waste by<br />
mulching or bagging leaves and<br />
grass clippings and do not sweep or<br />
blow yard waste into the street or<br />
gutter.<br />
• Avoid excessive use of yard<br />
chemicals, use phosphorous free<br />
fertilizers and perform a soil test<br />
before application. Read labels,<br />
apply sparingly — more is not<br />
better. Ensure that grass clippings<br />
are swept back onto the grass and<br />
not in the street.<br />
• Use phosphorous free soaps when<br />
washing your car and let the water<br />
drain to a landscape area. Consider<br />
using a commercial car wash, which<br />
conserves water and sends used<br />
water to the wastewater treatment<br />
plant.<br />
PLEASE REPORT<br />
ILLEGAL DUMPING<br />
In order to keep our environment<br />
clean and to protect our high quality<br />
of life, please report any suspected<br />
illegal dumping or illicit discharge by<br />
calling Greenwood Village Public<br />
Works at 303-708-6100 during<br />
normal business hours. After normal<br />
business hours, please call Police<br />
CARPET CLEANING FACTS<br />
AND WATER QUALITY<br />
Dispatch at 303-773-2525.<br />
How to detect an illicit discharge:<br />
Visual observations of anyone<br />
dumping ANY substance into a storm<br />
drain inlet or into the flow line along<br />
the curb and gutter on any street.<br />
Keep your safety in mind and if<br />
possible, record the location, date,<br />
time and license plate number rather<br />
than approach the potential violator at<br />
the time of the incident. Note any odd<br />
color, odor, sheen or floatable<br />
materials observed within storm<br />
drains, along roadways, open space,<br />
streams and ponds.<br />

Did you know that professional carpet cleaning could<br />
potentially pollute stormwater as water used in the<br />
process contains chemicals and materials from<br />
products that could contaminate waterways? Make<br />
sure to ask the carpet cleaning company how they dispose of the carpet cleaning liquid<br />
waste. Any carpet cleaning wash water that enters the storm drain is considered an illicit<br />
discharge.<br />
• Carpet cleaning liquid waste should be either sent to the sanitary sewer in your home<br />
or hauled to a disposal facility and not disposed of in the storm drain, street or<br />
gutter.<br />
• Encourage your carpet cleaning company to use “green” carpet cleaning products so<br />
that it limits the business or residence from being exposed to toxic chemicals.<br />
• Be sure to filter the wash water before discharging it to the sanitary sewer since<br />
fibers and other debris in the wash water can clog pipes. The filtered material can be<br />
disposed of in the garbage, provided that the carpet was not contaminated with<br />
hazardous materials.<br />

PEDESTRIANS: RULES OF THE<br />
ROAD TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE<br />
According to the U. S. Department of Transportation,<br />
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2016,<br />
there were 5,987 pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in the<br />
United States. A total of 5,900 traffic crashes had one or<br />
more pedestrian fatalities. On average, a pedestrian was killed<br />
nearly every 1.5 hours in traffic accidents.<br />
Traffic and Pedestrian<br />
Signals: Pedestrians must<br />
yield the right-of-way to<br />
drivers by obeying traffic<br />
signals, observing pedestrian<br />
signals and using<br />
crosswalks. The pedestrian<br />
signals are:<br />
WALK (Constantly<br />
Lighted): Pedestrians facing<br />
the signal may cross the<br />
roadway in the direction of<br />
the signal.<br />
DON’T WALK (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start to<br />
cross the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly<br />
completed his cross may continue.<br />
DON’T WALK (Constantly Lighted): Pedestrians may<br />
not enter the roadway.<br />
Crossing a Roadway: Always cross the street at a designated<br />
crosswalk. Pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers.<br />
Within a Crosswalk: If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, a<br />
vehicle has to yield. However, if a vehicle is 20 feet away<br />
from the crosswalk and traveling at 30 mph,<br />
the pedestrian must yield as the vehicle does<br />
not have enough time to stop safely.<br />
Intersections: Be careful at intersections,<br />
where drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way<br />
to pedestrians while turning onto another<br />
street.<br />
Joggers and Walkers: Joggers and walkers should use<br />
jogging paths when provided. On public roads, joggers<br />
should try to select wide roads with good shoulders. They<br />
should face oncoming traffic and remember to look and<br />
listen for cars. At night or any time visibility is poor, joggers<br />
and walkers should be in well-lighted areas and wear<br />
reflective clothing.<br />

BICYCLE SAFETY<br />
AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE<br />
Before you take to the road with your bicycle, it’s imperative<br />
to know and practice all the fundamentals of riding a bicycle.<br />
Did you know bicyclists are subject to the same rules, laws<br />
and regulations as motor vehicles? Ignoring rules of the road<br />
that regulate passing, riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop<br />
signs, and other etiquette will determine your fate on the<br />
roadway. If all else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he<br />
who has the most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will<br />
always win over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to<br />
avoid a costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling.<br />
• Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the<br />
traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be<br />
expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go<br />
over a hill.<br />
• Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians,<br />
let them know your position by shouting something like,<br />
“On your left!”<br />
• When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement<br />
of traffic. If you are on a road with lanes, you must ride<br />
within a single lane.<br />
• Always check behind you when changing lanes.<br />
• Watch out for dangerous things on the roadways or on<br />
trails. Road litter, puddles of water, loose gravel, and<br />
storm gates can cause you to lose control of your bicycle.<br />
• Stop at all stop signs and traffic lights. Be extra careful at<br />
crossroads. Walk your bicycle across busy intersections.<br />
• Always signal before making a left or right turn. To make<br />
a left turn, look behind you, hold your left arm straight<br />
out and proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left<br />
arm out and up in an “L” shape.<br />
• Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden<br />
turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to<br />
avoid colliding with you.<br />
• Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone<br />
could open his or her door unexpectedly.<br />
• Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you.<br />
• Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind<br />
spot).<br />
• Know your road signs and obey them. A smart bicyclist<br />
follows the rules of the road.<br />
• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close<br />
to the brakes.<br />
• Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear<br />
headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on<br />
around you.<br />
For more information on driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, and<br />
motorcycle safety, please call the Greenwood Village Police<br />
Department at 303-773-2525. <strong>GV</strong><br />
PHOTO RED LIGHT SYSTEMS<br />
IN THE VILLAGE UPDATE<br />
BELLEVIEW AND DAYTON STREET<br />
In an effort to create safer roadways and save lives, Village<br />
staff will continue to work diligently to get this photo red light<br />
system installed at the intersection of Belleview Avenue and<br />
Dayton Street prior to the start of the next school year.<br />
ARAPAHOE AND YOSEMITE STREET<br />
As a result of the Arapahoe Road and I-25 Interchange project,<br />
the photo red light system at Arapahoe Road and Yosemite<br />
Street was deactivated during construction. With the<br />
completion of the project in December 2017, this photo red<br />
light system is now in full operation and has begun to issue<br />
tickets for red light violations. Please note the Village is<br />
observing a significant amount of violations for drivers that are<br />
not stopping prior to making a right turn at westbound<br />
Arapahoe Road to northbound Yosemite Street. To avoid a<br />
photo red light ticket, please be mindful to make a complete<br />
stop before making a right turn on a red signal.<br />

DRIVING SAFETY TIPS<br />
EVERY DRIVER SHOULD KNOW<br />
When you’re behind the wheel of a car — whether alone or<br />
with passengers — driving safely should always be your top<br />
concern. Today, there are more distractions that ever so it’s<br />
crucial to know the basics of safe driving and practice them<br />
every time you’re on the road.<br />
TOP 4 DRIVING SAFETY TIPS<br />
Focus on Driving<br />
• Keep 100% of your<br />
attention on driving at<br />
all times — no multitasking.<br />
• Don’t use your phone or<br />
any other electronic<br />
device while driving.<br />
• Slow down. Speeding gives you less time to react and<br />
increases the severity of an accident.<br />
Drive “Defensively”<br />
• Be aware of what other drivers around you are doing, and<br />
expect the unexpected.<br />
• Assume other motorists will do something crazy, and<br />
always be prepared to avoid it.<br />
• Keep a 2-second cushion between you and the car in front<br />
of you.<br />
• Make that 4 seconds if the weather is bad.<br />
Make a Safe Driving Plan<br />
• Build time into your trip schedule to stop for food, rest<br />
breaks, phone calls or other business.<br />
• Adjust your seat, mirrors and climate controls before<br />
putting the car in gear.<br />
• Pull over to eat or drink. It takes only a few minutes.<br />
Practice Safety<br />
• Secure cargo that may move around while the vehicle is in<br />
motion.<br />
• Don’t attempt to retrieve items that fall to the floor.<br />
• Have items needed within easy reach — such as toll fees,<br />
toll cards and garage passes.<br />
• Always wear your seat belt and drive sober and drug-free.<br />

INFORMATION MEETING<br />
Please join us for a public meeting on Tuesday, <strong>July</strong> 17 at<br />
6 p.m. in the Community Room at City Hall. The meeting<br />
is to provide information to residents on the installation of<br />
public art sculptures in Westlands Park.<br />
The Greenwood Village Cultural Arts program has partnered<br />
with the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) to present<br />
rotating, public art installations in Westlands Park. The<br />
MOA will be placing three sculptures in Westlands Park from<br />
the Fall 2018 through Summer 2019. The MOA is dedicated<br />
to bringing the vitality of the arts into the everyday life of the<br />
people of Colorado.<br />
A museum without walls, MOA’s collection of outdoor<br />
sculpture reaches out to both the casual passerby and the<br />
serious art critic. MOA has several works located throughout<br />
Greenwood Village, including two pieces on loan to the city<br />
located in Westlands Park, The Nest and Dolphins.<br />
For the Fall 2018, MOA will be installing the works of one<br />
artist for temporary installation in Westlands Park. Neil<br />
Goodman is a Chicago based artist working in large scale<br />
sculptures. His work has been written about and reviewed in<br />
numerous catalogs and periodicals including Art Forum, Art<br />
in America and Art News. This exhibition will correspond to<br />
a gallery exhibition at MOA’s indoor gallery.<br />
At the meeting attendees will get to see the installation sites<br />
and examples of the artist’s previous works. Installation is<br />
planned for Fall 2018.<br />

Greenwood Village for the City’s ideal<br />
demographics. At Pilates Plus, their<br />
goal is to help everyone attain their<br />
best quality of life in mind, body, and<br />
spirit.<br />
Pilates is a physical fitness system<br />
designed in the early 20th century by<br />
German-born Joseph Hubertus Pilates.<br />
It is a method of exercise and physical<br />
improvement designed to stretch,<br />
strengthen and balance the body.<br />
Many people turn to Pilates not just as<br />
a form of exercise, but as a next step<br />
after rehabilitation when recovering<br />
from an injury.<br />
Pilates Plus offers several different<br />
styles of Pilates such as classical,<br />
contemporary and clinical. In<br />
addition, Pilates Plus also offers<br />
training sessions with Real Ryder<br />
Cycling bikes, TRX, Piloxing (a<br />
creative mix between Pilates and<br />
boxing), barre training and Yoga.<br />
Nutritional counseling and massage<br />
are also available.<br />
Here is what some of the customers<br />
are saying about Pilates Plus:<br />
“I went to my first class today at<br />
Pilates Plus and the studio is beautiful,<br />
instructor was classically trained and<br />
excellent. I took a regular Pilates<br />
equipment class but they seem to have<br />
an array of interesting classes. I will<br />
definitely go back. Lastly, the owner<br />
was super nice and accommodating.”<br />
“My wife suggested I start Pilates with<br />
her about six months ago as a way to<br />
increase my flexibility and core<br />
strength. Although I was hesitant, I<br />
agreed and we chose Pilates Plus for its<br />
location. We were fortunate to have<br />
Kristie as our first instructor and have<br />
continued to schedule her classes.”<br />
There are six instructors teaching at<br />
Pilates Plus. Each one of these<br />
instructors brings their unique style,<br />
personality and background to each<br />
session:<br />
Melissa Peda is PMA certified. She<br />
enjoys working with people who have<br />
suffered injuries and helping them to<br />
see the results with regular practice.<br />
Melissa has a background as a singer<br />
and teaches vocal lessons to ages 11<br />
and up, performance skills and<br />
beginner piano lessons at the studio as<br />
well.<br />
Kristie Frazier discovered Pilates while<br />
trying to recover from a hip injury she<br />
suffered serving in the U.S. Navy.<br />
“The minute I found Pilates, my life<br />
changed forever.” What she truly loves<br />
about Pilates is that everyone can do<br />
it, regardless of their age, gender or<br />
fitness level. Her mission is to share<br />

Arapahoe Libraries to present the<br />
“Village Read.” The idea<br />
encourages adults of all ages to<br />
read one book and participate<br />
in thought-provoking<br />
discussions and activities derived<br />
from the chosen book. The goals of the program are<br />
to encourage leisure reading, create community conversations<br />
and bring the community together through literature.<br />
This year the group has chosen the book “White Plains” by<br />
Colorado author David Hicks. In “White Plains,” Flynn<br />
Hawkins is a graduate assistant at a prestigious university, on<br />
his way to greatness and wisdom. But in the aftermath of<br />
9/11, Flynn leaves his unhappy marriage and beloved<br />
children, resigns his teaching position, and heads west, only<br />
to get lost in his guilt and in the mountains of Colorado.<br />
When he ends up stuck overnight in a snow drift during a<br />
blizzard on the Continental Divide, he realizes he needs to<br />
remake himself into the kind of man his children need him<br />
to be. With wit and insight, David Hicks turns a<br />
compassionate but unblinking eye on what it means to be<br />
human — to be lost while putting yourself back together<br />
again, to be cowardly while being brave, to fail and fail again<br />
on the way to something that might<br />
be success.<br />
This year’s program will begin with<br />
the Mayor’s Kickoff on August 2 at<br />
7 p.m. at Koelbel Library.<br />
Greenwood Village Mayor Ron<br />
Rakowsky will interview the author<br />
and give his insight into this year’s<br />
book. See full listing of Village Read<br />
events. All events are free and open<br />
to the public.<br />
