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

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.

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.
PG. 12 GV NEWSLETTER | NOVEMBER 2018
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.

as 4 a.m. Trail crews periodically
check trails for problem areas if the
temperature remains below freezing
for extended periods of time.

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

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

ARTS AND RECREATION
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.
