GOVERNMENT ENHANCING OUR community LIGHTNING SYSTEM AT VILLAGE GREENS PARK UPGRADED INCREASED COVERAGE IMPLEMENTED During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential dangers of a lightning storm while outside. In an effort to provide a safer environment for users of Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and Tommy Davis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert park users of the potential for lightning before it strikes. The lightning prediction system at Village Greens Park was recently updated. The upgrades include installation of a new remote site that allows for increased coverage to include the mountain bike and disc golf courses, and the path system surrounding both courses. In addition, the technology has been upgraded to allow anyone to see the status of the Village Greens park site, and view radar imagery of the area by accessing the website address: greenwoodvillage.thormobile3.net. The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detection system. These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the ground that can create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive cloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and evaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of the dangerous conditions. The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe for lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for a period of 15 seconds, alerting users of the potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activated throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal consisting of three five second audible horn blasts. The systems are operational between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months.

GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTION BEGINS FOR RESTROOMS AT CASTLEWOOD PARK AND THE HIGH LINE CANAL TRAILHEAD Construction commenced in June for new restroom facilities at Castlewood Park and the High Line Canal Trailhead. These plumbed restrooms, which will replace the existing portable toilets at both locations, will also include drinking fountains and water bottle filling stations. Construction is anticipated to be completed in September 2019. Please note that during construction, parking at Castlewood Park and the High Line Canal Trailhead may be limited or unavailable. To allow for utility connections, a short closure of Orchard Drive between Holly Street and Ivanhoe Street will be necessary. For more information, please call Josh Morin, Parks Project Manager, at 303-708-6113 or email jmorin@greenwoodvillage.com.
