VILLAGE GREENS 

NORTH PARK 

PHASE IV GRAND OPENING 

October was a great month to celebrate Village 

accomplishments. The first was the grand opening and 

ribbon cutting of Village Greens North Park 

Phase IV improvements on Tuesday, October 

16. I was joined by Mayor Pro Tem and District 

3 Councilmember George Lantz, District 4 

Councilmembers Judy Hilton and Tom 

Dougherty, Arapahoe County Commissioner 

Nancy Sharpe, residents, and staff. 

Phase IV improvements included an entrance to 

the park with a large patio area, tables with 

seating and shade structures, wayfinding signage 

and a year-round plumbed restroom. The sunny 

Ron Rakowsky fall evening showcased the beautiful design of 

rrakowsky@ the entryway and allowed guests to sip hot cider 

greenwoodvillage.com 

and enjoy trail mix while checking out the new 

303-486-5741 

features. The design and construction of this 

project was funded through the Village’s Capital 

Improvement Program and supported by two significant 

grants from Arapahoe County Open Spaces. 

GOLDSMITH GULCH 

CHANNEL RESTORATION 

RIBBON CUTTING 

In the transition from vibrant business centers to friendly 

residential communities, you can now find shade structures, 

lounge chairs, cascading water, and environmentally friendly 

paths through wetlands that remind you how great is it to 

live, work and play in Greenwood Village. Those attending 

Ribbon Cutting at Village Greens North Park Phase IV 

the ribbon cutting ceremony on October 25 for the 

Goldsmith Gulch Channel Restoration project between 

Caley Avenue and Fair Avenue were among the first to 

explore these great new amenities in Greenwood Village. This 

project was made possible by a funding partnership between 

Greenwood Village, Urban Drainage and Flood Control 

District and Arapahoe County Open Spaces.

WALK TO SCHOOL DAY 

Greenwood Village celebrated the Annual Walk to School Day with the children of 

Greenwood Elementary in October. Greenwood Village promotes the annual Walk to 

School Day to encourage children and adults of all ages to walk or bike to school and 

other destinations. Walking or bicycling can 

improve the overall health of people, improve air 

quality and the environment by reducing car trips, 

and create safer routes for bicyclists and pedestrians. 

Greenwood Village is one of hundreds of 

communities using Walk or Bike to School Day to 

help change community culture and create options 

for getting around. 

For more information or to participate in the 2019 

Annual Walk to School Day event, please call Cathy 

Delap, Recreation Manager, at 303-486-5766 or 

email cdelap@greenwoodvillage.com. For more 

information on how you can get involved or to see 

if your school in Greenwood Village is hosting an 

event, visit www.walkbiketoschool.org.

loss in October. An event 

such as this impacts not

BACK THE BLUE K-9 

FORCE WORKS FOR 

MINER AND RIGGS 

Police dogs like our very own Miner 

and Riggs are a great value to our 

community. Not only are they both 

adorable and fun in their own way, 

they are well trained to work with 

their police K-9 handlers to help 

address crime in Greenwood Village. 

Their training includes searching 

buildings for suspects, entering the 

building alone to locate and hold the 

suspect if found hiding there. Police 

dogs are also trained for jobs such as 

bomb and narcotic detection. 

Greenwood Village Police K-9’s Miner 

and Riggs put their life on the line 

every day as do all our police officers 

to protect and serve, and ensure your 

family is safe. 

In October, Miner and Riggs were 

guests of honor at a Back the Blue K-9 

Force and Heroes with Paws event at 

Kuni Lexus of Greenwood Village. 

The purpose of the event, during 

which District 4 Councilmember Tom 

Dougherty and I attended, was to raise 

monies for K-9s of the Greenwood 

Village Police Department and the 

I-25 and Arapahoe Road Interchange 

Officer Jeff Mulqueen with Riggs. 

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. 

They are currently helping Hugo, 

Colorado to help them find a K-9, 

and raised funds for the K-9s at the 

Fort Collins Police Department. 

The funds raised by the non-profits 

are earmarked to purchase supplies for 

K-9s such as vests and trauma kits, 

and other items that are essential for 

the K-9s livelihood as a K-9 police 

dog. 

Officer Juan Villalva and 

Councilmember Dougherty. 

One of the highlights of the event was 

K-9 Miner’s opportunity to show off 

his biting skills on District 4 

Councilmember Tom Dougherty. 

Of course, Councilmember Dougherty 

was in a protective suit during the 

demonstration; it was interesting to 

watch just how well trained our police 

dogs are.

In December 2017, 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 

completion of the Arapahoe Road and I-25 

Interchange Reconstruction Project. seven months 

ahead-of-schedule and under budget. 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, was primarily funded by 

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. 

Public Outreach/Small Community Greenwood Village won 

first place in this category for its 20th Anniversary of Public 

Works and Parks Maintenance Day. For the past 20 years, the 

Village has hosted this event, during National Public Works 

week to promote awareness in the community of Public 

Works and Parks Maintenance and recognize the efforts of 

employees. The event included hosting students from 

Belleview Elementary for a morning full of learning and 

interactive activities. To commemorate this year’s event, 

employees participated in a “Design a T-Shirt Contest” and 

each employee voted on 1 of 6 t-shirt designs created by our 

employees. The chosen design was used and a 20th 

Anniversary commemorative t-shirt was provided to each 

employee. 

By creating a meaningful and well received event, we have 

been able to maintain a highly successful and educational 

event that teaches children about the services of Public Works 

and Parks Maintenance, how they do it, and the outcomes it 

brings to the Village community.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING 

SAFETY TIPS 

With the holidays upon us, the Village 

would like everyone to have a safe 

holiday season. Provided below are 

some safety tips of which to be aware 

and practice when doing your holiday 

shopping. 

• Be aware of your surroundings at 

all times. 

• When shopping, try to park in a 

well-lit portion of the parking lot 

or street. 

• When you park your car, secure the 

valuables that you have left in your 

car by placing them in the trunk. 

Do not leave cellular phones, 

purses, CD cases, laptops, or any 

other item of value in your parked 

car where they can be seen. It is 

better not to leave valuables in 

the car at all. Make sure you close 

your windows, lock your doors and 

activate your car alarm, if you have 

one. 

• Do not leave purchased 

merchandise in your parked car 

where it can be seen. Put these 

items in your trunk, or conceal 

them inside the vehicle. 

• Keep your purse on your body, not 

left in a cart or in the car. If you 

carry a small purse, carry it over 

your shoulder under your coat. 

Do not carry all of your credit cards 

with you. Leave your unneeded 

documents at home. 

• Always be aware of the location of 

your personal items. Know where 

your purse, cellular phone, wallet, 

packages, etc. are at all times. Do 

not leave them unattended. Do not 

overburden yourself with packages. 

• When you are finished shopping, 

have your keys in your hand before 

reaching your car door. Take notice 

of your surroundings. If you see 

that someone is watching you and 

that you may be a potential victim, 

return to the store immediately, and 

call security or the police 

department at 9-1-1. 

• Do whatever you need to keep safe, 

even if it means asking a security 

guard or a police officer to escort 

you to your car. It is always better 

to be safe than sorry. 

If you have any questions or need 

assistance, please call the Greenwood 

Village Police Department at 

303-773-2525 or call 9-1-1. GV

GET READY FOR winter 

GREENWOOD VILLAGE IS 

READY FOR THE SNOW SEASON 

The Village is ready for the snow season. The Snow and Ice 

Control program assures roadways and trails are safe and 

accessible during and after snow events. Snow and Ice 

operations consist of three elements: snow plowing, 

application of materials for traction and ice control, and 

snow and/or ice removal if safety or accessibility have been 

jeopardized. 

ROADWAYS 

All roadways in the Village are designated as either a primary 

or secondary route. Primary routes include the high-volume 

roadways that connect major sections of the community, all 

school bus routes and residential roadways which connect the 

neighborhood to higher volume roadways. Snow and ice 

control operations begin in secondary areas (residential 

neighborhoods) after primary roadways have been cleared. 

Heavy snow accumulations may require repeated passes over 

primary roadways before secondary routes are plowed. 

Operations continue until the storm stops and all roadway 

surfaces are cleared. 

Snow is plowed and piled into an area that does not block 

traffic flow. Removal of snow piles will only occur when 

safety or accessibility has been jeopardized. Snow cannot be 

piled in the center of the roadway because the thaw/freeze 

cycle will cause ice on the roadway. Residential roadways are 

not plowed from edge to edge to avoid covering sidewalks or 

blocking driveways. If possible, residents are requested to 

remove vehicles from the roadways during storms for better 

clearing of snow. 

RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALKS 

AND DRIVEWAYS 

ICE MITIGATION 

There are certain locations in Village neighborhoods that are 

prone to icy conditions due to shade or poor drainage. Once ice 

forms, it is difficult to remove without damage to equipment or 

infrastructure. Be on the lookout for snow and ice operators 

moving snow piles from the shade to sun-exposed locations in 

order to minimize ice build-up. 

SNOW SHIFT HOURS 

Village personnel who perform road and park maintenance 

during the summer months also conduct snow and ice 

control operations in the winter. A weather service provides 

up-to-the-minute information regarding weather conditions. 

Snow shifts are often activated in anticipation of a storm to 

ensure that the crews and equipment are ready when the 

snowstorm begins. The typical shift hours are 5 a.m. to 1 

p.m., 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., all days of the 

week, including holidays. 

EQUIPMENT 

The Village owns and maintains a variety of vehicles to 

ensure effective snow and ice control operations, including 

13 plow trucks, one anti-icing truck, one slide-in tanker, one 

grader, and one loader. Additionally, there are three ATVs 

(All-Terrain Vehicles), six pickup trucks with plows, and 

many hand-held snowblowers and shovels used to clear trails, 

sidewalks, and parking lots. In order to assure that all 

equipment is operational, mechanics are available at all times 

during snowstorms to address any equipment problems. 

USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING 

NEAR SNOWPLOWS 

When driving near a snowplow, slow down and use caution. 

Give plow drivers plenty of room so they can do their job 

efficiently and safely. 

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to remove 

snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours and 

businesses to remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 

24-hours after accumulation. This requirement includes 

removal of snow and ice from sidewalks in the front and side 

of a residence (in the case of corner lots), but does not extend 

to walkways leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to 

sidewalks or trails abutting the rear of a property. Clearing 

snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of the 

occupant. 


GOVERNMENT 

MATERIALS 

The Village applies materials for 

traction and ice control to improve 

traveling conditions during snow and 

ice events. Staff monitors each storm 

to determine the appropriate 

application of materials depending on 

the weather conditions. Materials are 

continually evaluated to identify the 

most effective products with the least 

amount of environmental impact. 

CONCRETE/ASPHALT 

TRAILS, SIDEWALKS 

AND PARKING LOTS 

The Village plows snow from concrete 

and asphalt trails, and some sidewalks 

and parking lots. Primary trail routes 

are those leading to and from schools. 

The parking lots at Village Greens 

Park, City Hall, Curtis Center for the 

Arts, and the Maintenance Facility are 

a first priority for snow plowing and 

are cleared simultaneously with the 

primary trails. The parking lots in 

other Village-owned parks are then 

cleared. During an average 

snowstorm, it takes about eight hours 

to clear trails, sidewalks, and parking 

STEP CAREFULLY 

Thaw/freeze conditions can cause new 

ice on trails, sidewalks and parking 

lots; always use caution when walking 

on these during periods of freezing 

weather. 

lots with crews often starting as early 

as 4 a.m. Trail crews periodically 

check trails for problem areas if the 

temperature remains below freezing 

for extended periods of time.

OVERGROWN 

LANDSCAPING ON 

YOUR PROPERTY 

OBSTRUCTION 

COULD CREATE 

A SAFETY HAZARD 

To ensure the safety of the community 

and address mobility and visibility, it is 

important to keep streets, sidewalks, 

bicycle lanes and other public areas 

free of overgrown vegetation. Village 

crews are responsible for maintenance 

of the Village’s right-of-way, including 

roadways, sidewalks, and trails. But 

did you know property owners are 

responsible for maintaining their trees 

and all other vegetation in these areas 

next to their property free of 

obstructions? Overgrown vegetation is 

a safety hazard and limits the use of 

sidewalks, trails, and streets. Public 

safety is threatened when vegetation 

blocks the view of traffic signs, signals, 

vehicles, or cyclists. 

Trimming vegetation and caring for 

your trees are effective ways property 

owners can enhance neighborhood 

safety. Prune your trees and trim or 

remove any vegetation including 

branches, shrubs, bushes, or any other 

plant material that obstructs or grows

BE. 

Be. • 720-799-2229 • Cherry Hills Marketplace • 5910 S. University Blvd., Suite C-12 

Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m. • www.justbe.shop 

The City is delighted to welcome be. to Greenwood Village. 

Be. is a “lifestyle boutique” that offers unique gifts and home 

décor as well as endless inspiration. There is bound to be 

something for everyone. 

Following the long-time success of owning and operating 

Happy Canyon Flowers, an iconic floral and gift shop in the 

Denver area, Kendal Hall and his mother, Kay decided to sell 

the store and embark on a new journey. In 2017, Kendal 

along with Kay found their next passion in the home décor 

and gift industry and as a result be. was born. 

The Village was chosen due to its prime location and history 

of customer loyalty to Kendal and Kay’s business over the 

years. “So many of our customers through the last 35 years 

have been local to GV, so once we realized the space in the 

Village was available, the decision to begin here was without 

difficulty,” stated Kendal. 

The concept behind the unique name of be. was derived 

from the values Kendal’s mother instilled in him over the 

years. As he was contemplating what to name the store 

he wrote down the values his mother taught him … 

be curious, be loving, be thoughtful, be inspired, be yourself. 

Kendal realized all these expressions had one thing in 

common … the word be. In fact, these values are written 

on the front door to be shared with every customer entering 

the store. 

Be. strives to be a destination for gifts, home décor, jewelry, 

body care products, home fragrance and home décor, as well 

as a source of inspiration to their customers. With a wide 

range of home décor items, it can sometimes be difficult to 

know what will look best in one’s home. Kendal helps with 

this challenge by visiting clients’ homes to provide styling 

advice and product recommendations that will assist you in 

completing your home. 

Kendal states, “What sets us apart is our commitment to 

exceptional customer service and it’s one of the reasons we 

have so many loyal customers.” If you are looking for a one 

stop local shop for your personal and gift needs as well as a 

variety of home décor products, be. is where it’s at! 

Be. is located in the Cherry Hills Marketplace at 

5910 S. University Blvd., Suite C-12, and can be reached at 

720-799-2229. Be. is open Monday through Saturday 

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visit their website at www.justbe.shop. GV

The annual fall festival for the residents of 

Greenwood Village took place on 

Saturday, October 6, 2018, in the 

backyard of City Hall. Over 850 people 

walked through the pumpkin patch and 

were greeted by larger-than-life emojis. 

There were carnival games, face painters, a 

giant ball pit, art projects and many other 

fun activities that matched the emoji 

theme. Everyone enjoyed music from the 

DJ, kids competed in fun games to some 

of their favorite songs. Across the pond, 

kids participated in a pumpkin hunt, 

obstacle course and more carnival games. 

The kids showed off their amazing 

costumes in the photo booth. The day 

ended with the kids picking out their 

perfect pumpkin to take home.
