SOUTH METRO 

FIRE RESCUE 

STATION #32 OPENS 

On Wednesday, November 28, at 0827, 

South Metro Fire Station 32 located at 

South Quebec Street and 

East Orchard Road, went 

back in service. I was able to 

witness this informal 

ceremony. The South Metro 

Pipe and Drum ensemble 

added immeasurably to the 

festivities. A grand opening 

for the public will happen 

sometime after the first of 

next year. 

Ron Rakowsky As plans for the new station 

rrakowsky@ were formulated I lobbied to 

greenwoodvillage.com 

save the distinctive mural 

303-486-5741 

from the former station, and 

it happened. We should, where possible, 

preserve history. 

Congratulations to South Metro on a 

handsome structure and welcome back to 

the neighborhood. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS/ 

SHOP AND DINE IN GV 

Wishing you and your family a happy and joyful holiday 

season. It’s that special time of year when we gather with our 

friends and family to appreciate the many diverse celebrations

that occur during the month 

of December. On behalf of 

Greenwood Village, we wish 

you the gift of love, the gift 

of peace, and the gift of 

happiness this holiday season. 

As you start your holiday 

shopping and engage in 

holiday meals, we ask that 

you shop and dine in 

Greenwood Village this 

holiday season. Here are some 

very important reasons why: 

• An array of choice for any lifestyle. The Village is home to 

an array of service-oriented businesses, specialty shops and 

home grown businesses with unique items for all ages. 

• Our sales taxes are lower! When you shop in the Village, 

you pay less sales tax. Our sales tax rate is actually lower 

than most metro area cities. 

• Support your local government services. Of the 7.25% 

sales tax you pay on purchases in the Village, 3% comes 

back to your community which makes up a significant 

portion of our general fund revenues. The general fund 

provides funding for services such as police protection, 

parks and recreation programs, street maintenance, and 

road improvements. 

• Support local merchants and their employees. Business 

owners and their employees pay taxes in the Village. These 

businesses donate to local charities and organizations and 

provide for our community in many other ways. By 

shopping and dining locally, you contribute to the 

economic growth of the business, thus contributing to the 

economic vitality of our local economy. 

You can find more information on our local businesses online 

at www.greenwoodvillage.com.

MAY THE BEST CITY WIN! 

HELP US WITH SOCKS 

FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE 

This holiday season, Greenwood Village, in partnership with 

Golden Hearts of Greenwood and the Sock It To Em Sock 

Campaign, is 

collecting new and 

used socks for the 

homeless. This year, 


has extended a 

friendly challenge 

with our 

neighboring cities to 

compete with us to see which city can collect the most socks. 

So far, the cities of Centennial, Englewood, Littleton, and 

Lone Tree have agreed to participate. 

Making a donation of socks is a wonderful way of giving 

back. Please drop off socks at City Hall, 6060 South Quebec 

Street, Maintenance Facility, 10001 East Costilla Avenue, or 

the Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 East Orchard Road 

through December 31. Let’s make a difference together and 

be the best City to collect the most socks!

conveyance and sediment transport 

characteristics of the stream; a new 

low-flow crossing to eliminate 

frequent overtopping and improve 

ecological function; and reduce the

WIRELESS ISSUES 

IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

We are receiving a growing number of requests from wireless 

providers to construct wireless infrastructure in the Village’s 

public right-of-way. In Greenwood Village mobile data traffic 

has grown significantly. We have heard from many residents 

during the Resident Survey of dropped calls due to existing 

congested infrastructure the carriers can no longer meet the 

current or future demands of our community. 

Village staff has retained a consultant to assist us in the 

evaluation of all viable options, resulting in the enhancement 

of broadband services. We selected Aero Wireless Solutions to 

provide professional services to the Village to support our 

internal team with telecommunications master planning and 

small cell design guidelines. In partnership with the wireless 

operators, aesthetic design options of new infrastructure is of 

significant importance to ensure they blend into the diverse 

neighborhoods of Greenwood Village.

THREE SOUTH METRO 

DENVER CITIES PARTNER 

ON TRAFFIC CONGESTION 

Recently the cities of Centennial, Greenwood Village and 

Lone Tree identified a pilot project to take a crossjurisdictional 

approach to managing and reducing traffic 

congestion. Specifically, the cities will create a connected, 

data-driven, multi-jurisdictional traffic management plan for 

Yosemite Street between Lincoln Avenue and Belleview 

Avenue that promotes efficient and safe traffic flow through 

the installation of sensors at traffic signals. This is the first 

multi-jurisdictional partnership to enable adaptive signal 

technology. 

A private sensor vendor, Blyncsy, has secured a grant to 

facilitate the installation of their sensors in Centennial and 

Lone Tree (Greenwood Village already has similar sensors in 

place) to monitor traffic and collect volumes, travel times, 

and delay (time spent waiting at a signal). The data collected 

will directly serve Centennial’s pilot project with Greenwood 

Village and Lone Tree to install adaptive signal technology on 

Yosemite Street. This data will fully describe the existing 

conditions on the corridor. 

After the adaptive technology is deployed and the software 

starts making tweaks to the signal timing, the entities can 

measure the effectiveness of the pilot project by comparing 

before and after conditions. A successful pilot will prove 

emerging technology can be applied to traffic signals to

NEW DENVER WATER RATES 

BEGIN IN FEBRUARY 

In an effort to fund essential upgrades and new projects, 

Denver Water announced new rates which will take effect 

February 1, 2019. Suburban customers such as Greenwood 

Village residents and businesses will see an additional 

monthly increase added to their volumetric charges. 

The Denver City Charter requires that suburban customers 

pay the full cost of service, plus an additional amount. 

This will equate to an annual increase between $23 and $41, 

which is between $1.90 and 3.40 a month (based on an 

annual use of 102,000 gallons of water). Volume rates for 

Denver residents will remain the same but will increase on 

suburban bills. 


benefit businesses, commuters, and residents alike, and will 

set a precedent for all future efforts our cities undertake. 

This project speaks volumes about regional cooperation, 

demonstrates a coordinated approach to improving air 

quality, and positive impacts on traffic flow. 

RAMBLE WITH RON 

Due to the fall and winter seasons, 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. 

Denver Water’s rate structure includes a three-tiered charge 

for water use (called the volume rate). To keep water 

affordable, indoor water use — for bathing, cooking and 

flushing toilets — is charged at the lowest rate. Essential 

indoor water use is determined by averaging the customer’s 

monthly water use on bills dated from January through 

March each year. This is called average winter consumption. 

Water use above the average winter consumption — 

typically for outdoor watering — is charged at a higher 

price.

SAY NO TO ‘PUFFERS’ 

Never leave your vehicle running while 

unattended even for a quick stop or to 

warm up your car during the winter 

season. Not only is it illegal to leave 

your car running unattended, it creates 

an easy opportunity for thieves to steal 

your car. 

KEYS 

Be smart with your car keys. 

Carelessness with vehicle keys is the 

cause of more than 50 percent of all 

automobile thefts. An unlocked 

vehicle is easy to get into and get 

away with. It’s even easier when the 

keys are left in the vehicle. Don’t 

keep the spare set hidden in your 

vehicle. Experienced thieves learn 

where spare keys are most likely to be 

hidden. 

PARKING 

Most cars are stolen while they are left 

unattended. Protect your car by 

exercising caution as you park. When 

selecting a spot, look for areas that are 

well lit, depriving potential thieves of 

the cover of darkness. When possible, 

park in attended lots, or in areas of 

high foot traffic; a car that’s 

surrounded by witnesses is less likely 

to be stolen. Always double-check to 

make sure that all windows have been 

closed and all doors properly locked. If 

you have a home garage, use it. 

AVOID LEAVING ANY 

VALUABLES IN SIGHT 

Do not leave accessories, valuables or 

personal documents in your vehicle. 

Insurance cards, registration and title 

can provide personal information to 

criminals for other uses. 

ALARMS AND SECURITY 

An audible car alarm is a simple yet 

effective way to ward off most crooks. 

If you do utilize an alarm system, bear 

in mind that the warning decals that 

come with it may be just as effective a 

deterrent. Most of the criminals that 

would flee at the sound of an alarm 

will pass your vehicle by completely if 

they know about the alarm 

beforehand.

Greenwood Village Police Department 

at 303-773-2525. GV 

PHOTO RED LIGHT IN 

GREENWOOD VILLAGE 

FOUR INTERSECTIONS 

ACTIVATED 

In an effort to manage traffic safety concerns, 

create safer roadways and prevent injuries 

Greenwood Village utilizes photo red light 

systems. The intersections include: Orchard 

Road and Quebec Street; Belleview Avenue and 

Quebec Street; Yosemite Street and Arapahoe 

Road; and Belleview Avenue and Dayton Street. 

All four intersections were selected for 

placement of photo red light systems based on 

accident history, complaints of aggressive 

driving and traffic signal violations. The photo 

red light systems were installed to also help improve the 

safety environment for pedestrians who utilize the crosswalks 

at these intersections. 

At all the photo red light intersections the photo red light 

system will be activated for any vehicle that travels through a 

red light. A photo red light camera will only photograph 

those vehicles that enter the intersection after the light 

turns red or fail to make a complete stop before turning 

right on a red signal. A picture of the license plate and 

image of the driver is captured and electronically sent to the 

Greenwood Village Police Department for an officer to 

review. An officer will validate or reject a violation through 

reviewing images captured on video footage. When a 

violation is validated a summons and complaint will be 

issued by mail to the registered owner of the vehicle. 

Photo red light systems are one of the Village’s efforts to 

reduce traffic accidents and improve safety. Other methods 

include education, engineering, and enforcement such as 

increased visibility of police officers to change poor driving 

behaviors. 

For more information, please call Sergeant Scott Jones, at 

303-486-8245 or email sjones@greenwoodvillage.com. 

For questions regarding a photo red light violation, please

BICYCLE SAFETY 

AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE 

Before you take to the road with your bicycle, it’s imperative 

to know and practice all the fundamentals of riding a bicycle. 

Did you know 

bicyclists are subject 

to the same rules, 

laws and regulations 

as motor vehicles? 

Ignoring rules of the 

road that regulate 

passing, riding 

abreast, use of hand 

signals, stop signs, 

and other etiquette 

will determine your 

fate on the roadway. 

If all else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who has 

the most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will always win 

over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to avoid a 

costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling. 

• Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the 

traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be 

expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go 

over a hill. 

• Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians, 

let them know your position by shouting something like, 

“On your left!” 

• When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement 

of traffic. If you are on a road with lanes, you must 

ride within a single lane. 

• Always check behind you when changing lanes. 

• Watch out for dangerous things on the roadways or on 

trails. Road litter, puddles of water, loose gravel, and 

storm gates can cause you to lose control of your bicycle. 

• Stop at all stop signs and traffic lights. Be extra careful at 

crossroads. Walk your bicycle across busy intersections. 

• Always signal before making a left or right turn. To make 

a left turn, look behind you, hold your left arm straight 

out and proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left 

arm out and up in an “L” shape. 

• Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden 

turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to 

avoid colliding with you. 

• Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone 

could open his or her door unexpectedly. 

• Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you. 

• Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind 

spot). 

• Know your road signs and obey them. A smart bicyclist 

follows the rules of the road. 

• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close 

to the brakes. 

• Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear 

headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on 

around you.

motorcycle safety, please call the Greenwood Village Police 

Department at 303-773-2525. GV

BUSTANG TO SERVE 

DENVER TECH CENTER 

Bustang will begin serving the Denver Tech Center on 

Monday, Dec. 17, 2018, as part of its route between 

Colorado Springs and the Denver area. This service is aimed 

at helping relieve commuter traffic along Interstate 25, 

including the 18-mile Gap segment, currently under 

construction between Castle Rock and Monument. 

The DTC circulator will run four times each weekday — 

twice in the morning from Colorado Springs and twice to 

Colorado Springs in the afternoon. It will stop at 16 

locations between Arapahoe Road/Yosemite Street and the 

RTD Light Rail Belleview Station. 

A one-way fare between El Paso County and the DTC will 

be $9. 

In addition to helping to reduce traffic on I-25, the route will 

provide service for people from the Colorado Springs area 

who have been seeking more direct access to their place of 

employment in the DTC. 

Bustang is the Colorado Department of Transportation’s 

interregional bus service, connecting major population and 

employment centers and local transit entities. Coaches are 

climate controlled, equipped with WiFi access, bicycle

9555 East Arapahoe Road, Suite 16 • 303-955-7458 • www.nycbagelsandwichshop.com 

Open Monday-Saturday 5 a.m.-4 p.m., Sunday 6 a.m.-4 p.m. 

Which came first… the bagel or the egg? There’s debate on 

the answer to that question, but we all know they go great 

together. If you’d like to decide for yourself, head on down to 

a new restaurant in the Village called the NYC Bagel & 

Sandwich Shop. It’s a place where breakfast and lunch are 

served all day and the choices are endless. Whether you’re in 

the mood for a breakfast wrap, an omelet, French toast, or 

oatmeal, your taste buds will undoubtedly be delighted in 

what this establishment has to offer! 

NYC Bagel opened their doors in the Village in October 

2018. Kelly Harmon is the owner of this franchise located in 

the heart of Greenwood Village. She is excited and energetic 

about the opportunity to open her shop within the Village. 

“It is wonderful to be able to bring a franchise that is located 

mainly on the East Coast to a quaint town such as 

Greenwood Village,” Kelly mentioned. 

“I chose to conduct business in the Village because of the 

great location nestled along the Arapahoe Road corridor,” 

said Kelly. She feels that the proximity to the wonderful 

businesses of the Tech Center will ensure good business for 

NYC Bagel as employees stop in for lunch during the hustle 

and bustle of their busy work schedules. It will also be 

convenient for residents to stop by on the weekends as they 

are running the many errands that need to get accomplished. 

Their menu includes artisan bagels and homemade spreads, 

breakfast sandwiches, breakfast platters, deli sandwiches, 

soups, salads, fruit, bakery items and beverages. NYC Bagels 

states that, “Our bagels are made with powdered barley malt 

as opposed to the less expensive liquid malt or no malt at all. 

Then they are allowed to rest for 12 hours on fermentation 

boards giving them a deep flavor and crust. Next they are 

ready for kettle boiling and, finally, hearth baked creating a 

true NYC style bagel that is crusty on the outside and chewy 

on the inside.” 

NYC Bagel prides themselves on providing “fresh cracked
