Greenwood Village Day once again
was successful thanks to many Village
employees. Their
dedication provided a
high level of service to
create this memorable
event for our residents.
While I would like to list
and personally thank
each member of our staff,
I will refrain from doing
so for fear of missing
someone. If you attended

with Village staff in the
near future, please pass
on your appreciation
directly to them.
I had the opportunity to observe
Greenwood Village Day happenings
and interact with many of you from
the steering wheel of a golf cart. It was
great to ride around and see all of our
residents coming together to enjoy all
the festivities, including the fireworks,
which was another first-rate
performance. I also enjoyed giving
ride-alongs to members of the

BACK TO SCHOOL
SAFETY
Whether your student is headed back
to elementary, middle, or high school,
August can be an exciting yet busy
time for everyone as they prepare for
another year of learning. With all the
fun and excitement, I want to make
sure parents as well as students are
aware of back to school safety tips to
start the new school year right. You
can find these important tips, provided
by the Police Department on pages
10-11 of this Newsletter. If you ever
have any concerns related to your
child’s safety, including traffic safety
around schools, please don’t hesitate to
contact your designated Police School
Resource Officer or the Police
Department at 303-773-2525.
SUNDANCE HILLS
PARADE
During this year’s July 4th celebration,
I was honored to participate in two
parades with Sundance Hills and
Village North neighborhoods. Bud
Biggers provided his 1931 Ford Model
A, driven by his college junior
grandson Cherry Creek High School
alumnus Mitchell Biggers, as my
parade vehicle. Bud’s grandfather
bought the vehicle from a Ford dealer
as a new car. In pristine condition,
with 32,000 plus miles, it was a
memorable ride. Thanks Messieurs
Biggers!
AN EXCEPTIONAL
CUSTOMER
EXPERIENCE AT
LANDMARK
THEATRE
Service is exceptional in Greenwood
Village! For the past several months, as
part of my report, I have highlighted a
business and one of their employees
who contribute to an exceptional
customer service experience. After all,
people are our most important asset!
Ever since my parents took me to see
Bambi and Fantasia, I have enjoyed
movies. The cinema experience
culminated with my appearance as an
extra, with a center screen headshot, in
Francis Ford Coppola’s, “Gardens of
Stone.”
Accordingly, this month, I recognize
my favorite movie theatre usher, ticket
tearer, and box office keeper —
Mr. Ted Posselius. Ted has been at The

ago. A retired attorney, Ted has been

VILLAGE CENTER STATION
FINAL OFFICE TOWER
COMPLETED
SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS
IS SOLE TENANT
This summer, Shea Properties completed construction of
Village Center Station II (Spectrum Plaza), the final building
of their Village Center Station development located on the
west side of I-25, just north of the Arapahoe Light Rail
Station. The Class AA building sits on 5.1 acres and
encompasses a 12-story office tower, a 7- level parking
structure with 1,200 car parking spaces, a 2-story wrapper
building for screening, all totaling 325,000 square feet. The
development included extension of the Plaza that was
completed in 2015, and 9,500 square feet of retail/restaurant
space within the ground floor of the wrapper building,
adjacent to the plaza.
“Spectrum Plaza was the final piece that makes Shea’s vision
of developing a high quality development of three office
towers, with a pedestrian plaza and community gathering
place a reality,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky. “The
development speaks for itself as it embodies a stunning
architectural statement that portrays perfection for an office
environment in Greenwood Village and along the I-25
corridor.”
Shea Properties development at Village Center Station, which
have been or will be LEED green certified, includes
construction of a total of three office towers; Village Center
Station I was completed in 2008; the second tower, the
CoBank Center was completed in December 2015; and the
third and final building — Spectrum Plaza is now complete
and is fully occupied by Spectrum (Charter)
Communications and will be home to 1,800 employees.
“The three-building campus, adjacent to the plaza, is a
realization of the original master plan. We have been true to
a vision of creating a modern office campus energized by a
common outdoor amenity and gathering place with ground
level-retail. We are proud to see the last piece of the puzzle
being developed,” said Peter Culshaw, Executive Vice
President, Shea Properties.
The development of the Village Center and its nearly 98
acres around the Arapahoe Light Rail Station also included
completion in 2017 of Granite Place at Village Center on the
east side of I-25 adjacent to the light rail station. Granite
Place at Village Center includes 280,000-square foot office
property on 5.24 acres, consisting of a 10-story, Class AA
office building with a separate six-story, 986 parking space
structure. The building is located within walking distance of
the Arapahoe Light Rail Station.
“For nearly 10 years, we have been working with major
landowners on the development of our Village Center on
both sides of I-25,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky. “We
appreciate the investment the business community has made
in Greenwood Village and high quality development that has
made our community a special place to conduct business and
work.”

MAKING A difference
ORDINANCE
UPDATE
WILD ANIMALS
AND WILD BIRDS
This is a “corrected” version from
the original version printed in
the July 2018 Newsletter.
The Village Code was recently
amended regarding wild animals and
wild birds in Greenwood Village. The
amended ordinance allows property
owners the ability to protect their
personal and real property from
damage from wild animals when it is
safe to do so, allowing the use of both
lethal and non-lethal control activities
under certain conditions. The specific
changes are as follows:
• Except as necessary for the
protection of real or personal
property against harm
from wild animals
itemized in C.R.S.
33-6-107(9) such as
coyotes, gophers,
raccoons and rabbits,
it is unlawful for any
person to willfully
shoot, capture, harass,
injure or destroy any
wild bird or wild
animal or to attempt
to shoot, capture,
harass, injure, or
destroy any such wild
bird or wild animal
within the city.
• Non-lethal control
activities in which
there is no direct
contact with geese and
that do not result in
harm to the geese,
goslings, eggs or nests
are allowed.
Although it does
allow lethal
control of wild
animals causing
harm to real or
personal
property, the
ordinance does
not allow the
discharge of a
firearm except
on private
property and
provided that
discharged
projectiles do
not leave the
property’s
boundary. Other than the exception
for protecting property from damage,
the ordinance continues to prohibit
the willful destruction of nests, nesting
place, burrows, eggs or young of any
wild bird or wild animal.

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.
BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY
TRAVELING TO AND FROM SCHOOL
School Bus
• If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make
sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus.
• Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the
curb.
• Do not move around on the bus.
• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before
crossing the street.
• Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.
• Tell your child not to bend down in front of the bus to tie
shoes or pick up objects, as the driver may not see him
before starting to move.
• Children should always board and exit the bus at locations
that provide safe access to the bus or to the school
building.
Cars
• All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or use an ageand
size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.
• All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in
the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children
than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for
example), move the front-seat passenger’s seat as far back
as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the
seat belts do not fit properly without it.
• Require seat belt use and limit the number of teen
passengers. Do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone
conversations or texting to prevent driver distraction; and
limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather.
Bicycles
• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or
long the ride.
• Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.
• Use appropriate hand signals, and respect traffic lights and
stop signs.
• Wear bright colored clothing to increase visibility.
Walking To School
• Make sure your child’s walk to a school is a safe route with
well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.
Make sure your child walks to school on a safe route and always
with at least one other child.
• Carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to
walk to school without adult supervision.
• Brightly colored clothing will make your child more
visible to drivers.
• Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides
or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone
you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust.
• Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone
number and address, your work number, the number of
another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.
BULLYING
When Your Child Is Bullied
• Help your child learn how to respond by looking the
bully in the eye, stand tall and stay calm, and walk away.
• Teach your child when and how to ask for help and make
friends with others.
• Alert school officials to the problems and work with them
on solutions.
• Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can
watch out for your child’s safety and well-being when you
cannot be there.
When Your Child Is The Bully
• Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK.
• Set firm and consistent limits on your child’s
PG. 10 GV NEWSLETTER | AUGUST 2018

aggressive behavior.
• Be a positive role model, and use effective, non-physical
discipline, such as loss of privileges.
• Develop practical solutions with the school principal,
teachers, counselors, and parents of the children your
child has bullied.
DRIVERS IN SCHOOL ZONES
• The Flashing Yellow Light, School Zone areas indicate
that traffic must slow down from the beginning of the
lights until the next speed limit sign or signage that
indicates the school zone has ended. School Zone times
vary, and it is the driver’s responsibility to be aware and
drive according to the posted signs and lights.
• Fines are doubled in school zones.
• Stop for school buses. Colorado law dictates a driver of a
vehicle, upon meeting from either direction any school
bus which has stopped and has activated its red flashing
lights, is required to stop the vehicle. Drivers do not need
to stop for a school bus upon meeting or passing a school
bus which is on a different roadway. School bus drivers are
authorized to report violators to the appropriate law
enforcement agency who may issue a citation on the basis
of the information provided.
• Remember that the sun can obscure your vision any
time of the year. Use visors and sunglasses to reduce glare
and make it easier to see pedestrians.
• Pedestrians, once in a crosswalk, have the right of way.
If you maintain a safe speed for conditions and foot traffic
you should have plenty of time to slow down and stop
safely.
• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow

down and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat the
lights. They are timed based on the speed limits and
traffic. When you rush one light you often just get
stopped at the next one.
• Be patient, be aware. Many people are distracted in these
hurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of people
and traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a green
light.
• Right on Red. Where allowed, and not all intersections
are clear for right on red, the car at the red light does not
have the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or going
with the flow of traffic always have the right of way.

Lunch: Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m.; Dinner: Monday-Thursday 4-9:30 p.m., Friday-Saturday 4-10 p.m., Sunday 1-8 p.m.
Looking for a fun lunch spot with
great food and a relaxing environment
or a restaurant with generous after
work specials? Desire a restaurant
where you can enjoy a variety of
delicious meal choices including highquality
sushi, sashimi and Mongolian
dishes? If this sounds like your kind of
place, look no further than the
recently opened ASA Sushi, the newest
sushi restaurant to open in the City of
Greenwood Village.
ASA Sushi is a family owned and
operated local restaurant, managed by
Emma, that strives to bring a touch of
warmth and quality to the community.
Emma, who grew up in Colorado, has
always felt very close to Greenwood
Village from her siblings attending
Cherry Creek High School to enjoying
many of the community events
provided in the City. Being part of the
Greenwood Village community
growing up made her decision very
simple when deciding where she
wanted to open ASA Sushi. The owner
took over an existing express sushi
business and completely renovated the
interior and character to create ASA
Sushi, a place where customer
satisfaction is a top priority.
Emma stated, “I didn’t know what to
expect working with the City in the
beginning; however, after going to
City Hall and talking with the City’s
community representatives, I felt
relieved at how welcoming the City
made me feel.” This experience
confirmed Emma’s vision about
Greenwood Village being an ideal
environment to start her business.
Emma established ASA Sushi on the
foundation to always choose quality
over quantity and to ensure the
meeting of customers’ satisfaction at
every meal. She also focuses on
customer attentiveness to make sure
customers are pleased with every dish
and encourages customer feedback to
support the development of dishes to
reach an even higher standard. Emma
said, “We pay close attention to the
small details not only in preparing
their food but to the needs of our
customers to provide an above and
beyond experience to all that come.”
ASA Sushi offers a variety of sushi,
sashimi, house rolls and Mongolian
dishes all prepared by their sushi chef
with over 15 years of experience.
Dishes rotate daily as all products are
handpicked from a variety of vendors
to ensure freshness and high quality.
With daily lunch specials, the menu is
always changing and includes a large
selection of special house rolls like the
ASA Roll (with a whole lobster tail
inside), lobster salad, cucumber/
asparagus/snow crab salad with garlic
butter and a DTC Roll that is deep
fried with spicy tuna, jalapeno, cream
cheese and topped with unagi sauce,
masago and crunch.
In addition to the mouth-watering
dishes offered at ASA Sushi, there is a
full bar offering a variety of beer, sake
and wine. Currently they are offering a
“buy one get one half price” deal
during happy hour from 4:30 p.m.
until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
ASA Sushi is designed to create an
enjoyable ambiance which makes

THE VILLAGE READ
FOR 2018
For the second year in a row the
Greenwood Village Cultural Arts
Program has partnered with
Arapahoe Libraries to present the
“Village Read.” The idea
encourages adults of all ages to
read one book and participate
in thought-provoking
discussions and activities derived
from the chosen book. The goals of the program are
to encourage leisure reading, create community conversations
and bring the community together through literature.
This year the group has chosen the book “White Plains” by
Colorado author David Hicks. In “White Plains,” Flynn
Hawkins is a graduate assistant at a prestigious university, on
his way to greatness and wisdom. But in the aftermath of
9/11, Flynn leaves his unhappy marriage and beloved
children, resigns his teaching position, and heads west, only
to get lost in his guilt and in the mountains of Colorado.
When he ends up stuck overnight in a snow drift during a
blizzard on the Continental Divide, he realizes he needs to
remake himself into the kind of man his children need him
to be. With wit and insight, David Hicks turns a
compassionate but unblinking eye on what it means to be
human — to be lost while putting yourself back together
again, to be cowardly while being brave, to fail and fail again
on the way to something that might
be success.
This year’s program will begin with
the Mayor’s Kickoff on August 2 at
7 p.m. at Koelbel Library.
Greenwood Village Mayor Ron
Rakowsky will interview the author
and give his insight into this year’s
book. See full listing of Village Read
events. All events are free and open

GREENWOOD VILLAGE ARTS
AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL
2019 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
On July 2, the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities
Council awarded their annual scholarships. The awards go to
two graduating seniors attending Arapahoe County schools
or living in Greenwood Village, that are pursuing degrees in
the arts. Each student receives $3,000 and their high schools
receive a $500 award for their art program. This year’s
winners are Hanna Dotson from Grandview High School
and Isaac Shin from Cherry Creek High School.
HANNA DOTSON
Hanna Dotson
graduated from
Grandview High
School in May 2018.
As a lover of theater
she has performed in
and worked on 23
shows between 6th
grade and senior year
including children’s
theatre, high school
theatre and
professional theatre in the Denver community. Hanna has
taken classes at the Denver Center for The Performing Arts
for three years and this year worked as a student counselor
there. Hanna’s all-time favorite performing experience is
Broadway to Africa, an annual musical revue that helps bring
teenagers from Africa and the Middle East to YoungLife
camps. When she is not taking voice, acting and dance
lessons, she enjoys game night with her family and baking
cookies. She is excited to spend the next four years doing
what she loves most as she pursues her Bachelor of Fine Arts
in Musical Theater at Millikin University in Illinois.
ISAAC SHIN
Isaac began drawing
dinosaurs at a young age.
Over time, he realized
that his artwork always
had meaning and his had
been influenced by
personal experiences and
beliefs. He believes that
art is a topic that no one
will ever fully
understand. People often
ask him, “What does
your artwork symbolize?” The idea that his compositions
always needed to have artistic significance frustrated him. He
just wanted to draw for fun and construct beautiful pieces.
His respect for the natural beauty of the world influences the
outcome of his artwork. He believes that in today’s society
people are so busy in their daily lives that they fail to see the
beauty in everything around them; therefore, they disrupt the
natural flow of the world. He is an artist dedicated to pulling
the covers off the issues and natural beauties that have arisen
and existed in this world. Isaac will be pursuing his Fine Arts
degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this
fall.
ART WITH A HEART
Renee Reese, an art instructor at the Curtis Center for the Arts, believes in the power of giving and receiving an old fashioned
greeting card. She also knows the healing power of art, so she combined the two into a special class. In June, the Curtis Center
for the Arts hosted “Art with a Heart.” In this class, led by Renee, students created inspirational greetings cards with watercolor to
give to the Children’s Hospital of Colorado. The cards will be given to patients, parents and even staff when they need a little
pick me up. The cards were filled with handwritten messages, like “Bee Strong,” and whimsical images to help brighten
someone’s day and help them get through challenging times.
The students had such a blast creating the cards that another
class is being planned.
