PLANNING FOR 2021 BUDGET<br />

The City Council conducted our annual budget retreat<br />

on September 18. Based on current information,<br />

without knowing the pandemic's exact<br />

course, the City Council and staff are<br />

working together to develop a balanced<br />

2021 budget. It is our goal that resident<br />

and business services such as police<br />

protection, street maintenance, road<br />

construction, snow and ice control, trash,<br />

recycling, large item pick up, and the<br />

recreation reimbursement program remain<br />

the same. However, City Council may<br />

need to implement some cuts that could<br />

impact other services or programs.<br />

George Lantz<br />

The City Council is scheduled to consider<br />

glantz@<br />

greenwoodvillage.com adopting the 2021 Budget including an<br />

303-486-5741 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement<br />

Program (CIP) on Monday, November 2,<br />

2020. The budget’s second reading is scheduled for Monday,<br />

December 7, 2020. A summary of the 2021 Budget will be<br />

featured in the January 2021 edition of this <strong>Newsletter</strong>.<br />

PICKLEBALL COURTS<br />

OPENING IN OCTOBER<br />

In the 2018 Citizen Survey, we heard from a number of<br />

residents about their desire to have pickleball courts in<br />

Greenwood Village. The City Council listened and approved<br />

the construction of two pickleball courts in Westlands Park.<br />

Staff is preparing for the courts grand opening on <strong>October</strong><br />

23. Due to popularity of this sport, there will be an Open<br />

Play Courtesy Rule — If courts are full and there are players<br />

waiting, players are asked to limit play to one 11-point game<br />

and then rotate off the court. No reservations will be taken at<br />

this time and no lessons will be allowed. We hope you enjoy<br />

this new and exciting amenity.<br />

COMMUNITY SHREDDING<br />

EVENT A HUGE SUCCESS<br />

The second<br />

annual<br />

Community<br />

Shredding<br />

event was held<br />

September 19.<br />

The event was<br />

so popular,<br />

the shredding<br />

truck could<br />

not accept any<br />

additional<br />

documents necessitating the event end 20 minutes early.<br />

This year 217 vehicles participated in the event. There were<br />

20 cars before 9 a.m., 74 cars by 9:30 a.m. with 109 total<br />

cars within the first hour. These numbers are an increase over<br />

last year, when we had 271 vehicles in two days. I would like<br />

to thank District 4 Councilmember Tom Dougherty and the<br />

City Clerk’s staff who assisted participants with their<br />

documents.<br />

BICYCLE SAFETY<br />

AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE<br />

Before you take to the road<br />

with your bicycle, it’s<br />

imperative to know and<br />

practice all the fundamentals<br />

of riding a bicycle. Did you<br />

know bicyclists are subject<br />

to the same rules, laws and<br />

regulations as motor<br />

vehicles? Ignoring rules of<br />

the road that regulate<br />

passing, riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop signs, and<br />

other etiquette will determine your fate on the roadway. If all<br />

else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who has the<br />

most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will always win<br />

over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to avoid a<br />

costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling.<br />

• Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the<br />

traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be<br />

expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go<br />

over a hill.<br />

• Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians,<br />

let them know your position by shouting something like,<br />

“On your left!”<br />

• When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement<br />

of traffic. If you are on a road with lanes, you must ride<br />

within a single lane.<br />

• Always check behind you when changing lanes.<br />

• Watch out for dangerous things on the roadways or on<br />

trails. Road litter, puddles of water, loose gravel, and<br />

storm gates can cause you to lose control of your bicycle.<br />

• Stop at all stop signs and traffic signals. Be extra careful at<br />

crossroads. Walk your bicycle across busy intersections.<br />

• Always signal before making a left or right turn. To make<br />

a left turn, look behind you, hold your left arm straight<br />

out and proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left<br />

arm out and up in an ‘L’ shape.<br />

• Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden<br />

turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to<br />

avoid colliding with you.<br />

• Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone<br />

could open his or her door unexpectedly.<br />

• Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you.<br />

• Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind<br />

spot).<br />

• Know your road signs and obey them. A smart biker<br />

follows the rules of the road.<br />

• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close<br />

to the brakes.<br />

• Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear<br />

headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on<br />

around you.<br />

For more information on driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, and<br />

motorcycle safety, please call the Greenwood Village Police<br />

Department at 303-773-2525. GV<br />

PEDESTRIANS: RULES OF THE<br />

ROAD TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE<br />

According to the U. S. Department of Transportation,<br />

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2018,<br />

6,283 people were killed in pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes,<br />

which was a 3.4% increase from the 6,075 pedestrian<br />

fatalities in 2017. Pedestrian deaths accounted for 17% of all<br />

traffic fatalities in 2018. This equates to a traffic-related<br />

pedestrian death every 84 minutes.<br />

Traffic and Pedestrian Signals: Pedestrians must yield the<br />

right-of-way to drivers by obeying traffic signals, observing<br />

pedestrian signals and using crosswalks. The pedestrian<br />

signals are:<br />

WALK (Constantly Lighted):<br />

Pedestrians facing the signal may cross<br />

the roadway in the direction of the<br />

signal.<br />

DON’T WALK (Flashing): Pedestrians<br />

may not start to cross the roadway. Any<br />

pedestrian who has partly completed his<br />

cross may continue.<br />

DON’T WALK (Constantly Lighted):<br />

Pedestrians may not enter the roadway.<br />

Crossing a Roadway: Always cross the street at a designated<br />

crosswalk. Pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers.<br />

Within a<br />

Crosswalk:<br />

If a<br />

pedestrian<br />

is in the<br />

crosswalk, a<br />

vehicle has<br />

to yield.<br />

However, if<br />

a vehicle is<br />

20 feet<br />

away from<br />

the<br />

crosswalk and traveling at 30 mph, the pedestrian must yield<br />

as the vehicle does not have enough time to stop safely.<br />

Intersections: Be careful at intersections, where drivers may<br />

fail to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians while turning<br />

onto another street.<br />

Joggers and Walkers: Joggers and walkers should use<br />

jogging paths when provided. On public roads, joggers<br />

should try to select wide roads with good shoulders. They<br />

should face oncoming traffic and remember to look and<br />

listen for cars. At night or anytime visibility is poor, joggers<br />

and walkers should be in well-lighted areas and wear<br />

reflective clothing.<br />

2020 PAVEMENT<br />

MANAGEMENT PROGRAM<br />

IMPROVES ROADWAYS<br />

In 2020 the Village’s Annual Pavement Management<br />

Program extended the life of approximately 30 of the<br />

Village’s total 224 roadway network lane miles (see map).<br />

The maintenance strategies consisted of preservation<br />

treatments including rejuvenator seal and chip seal as well as<br />

rehabilitation treatments like asphalt mill and overlays. Work<br />

began in early summer and was completed in the early fall.<br />

To achieve the outcomes of the Pavement Management<br />

Program a variety of maintenance strategies are applied to<br />

sustain a high-quality pavement network throughout the<br />

Village that results in safe, smooth, and visually appealing<br />

roadways. The specific strategy selected for each street is<br />

determined based on several factors including: traffic<br />

volumes; the remaining structural life of the pavement; and<br />

types and severity of the distresses present. The goal is to<br />

apply the right treatment, to the right road at the right time.<br />

Preservation treatments are cost effective surface treatments<br />

that are placed on a roadway surface early in its life cycle.<br />

The goal of a preservation treatment is to protect the asphalt<br />

surface from oxidation caused by air, sun and water.<br />

Oxidation leads to the pavement becoming less flexible,<br />

which in turn leads to cracking and degradation of the<br />

asphalt surface. By applying a preservation treatment early,<br />

the life of a roadway is extended, and future rehabilitation<br />

costs are minimized. Preservation treatments were applied to<br />

17 lane miles of roadway in 2020.<br />

A preservation treatment known as a chip seal was applied in<br />

the Green Oaks subdivision. Chip seals are performed on<br />

streets that are still in relatively good condition to provide a<br />

long lasting, asphalt rich seal that results in a new wearing<br />

surface. Ahead of the chip seal application, crack sealing and<br />

minor patching is performed to repair and seal these localized<br />

areas.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

Rejuvenator Seal in Greenwood Hills Subdivision Chip Seal in Green Oaks Subdivision<br />

Mill and Overlay on Yosemite Street<br />

Another effective preservation treatment that was performed<br />

in 2020 is a rejuvenator seal. This application serves to renew<br />

the asphalt binder on the surface of the pavement, thus<br />

deterring oxidation and cracking. This treatment is typically<br />

applied 3 or 4 years after a pavement has been overlaid with<br />

new asphalt. For streets that continue to show very low<br />

amounts of cracking, a second application of rejuvenator seal<br />

may be applied 6 to 8 years after the hot mix overlay. This<br />

year, rejuvenator seals were applied in five residential<br />

neighborhoods.<br />

Pavement rehabilitation is a more robust maintenance<br />

strategy performed later in the life cycle of a roadway to<br />

provide additional structural support to the pavement.<br />

Rehabilitation was performed on 13 lane miles of roadway in<br />

2020. This year, rehabilitation included major asphalt<br />

patching of structural deficiencies, followed by removal and<br />

replacement of the top few inches of the roadway surface.<br />

This treatment is commonly referred to as a mill and overlay.<br />

Rehabilitation was completed in two residential<br />

neighborhoods and on Fiddlers Green Circle and Yosemite<br />

Street.<br />

Management Program, please contact John Wannigman,<br />

COVID-19 UPDATE<br />

we’re all in this together!<br />

WEAR YOUR MASK PLEASE!<br />

IT’S THE LAW AND THE RIGHT THING TO DO<br />

At the time of the publication of this <strong>Newsletter</strong>, the State<br />

Mask Mandate is in effect that requires people in Colorado<br />

to wear a mask. Anyone, over the age of 10 years old, must<br />

wear a mask when entering or moving within any public<br />

indoor space. The state-wide mask mandate also requires<br />

people to wear a mask outdoors while using or waiting to<br />

use public transportation services such as bus, light rail,<br />

ride shares or taxis.<br />

To keep up-to-date on the State’s Mask Mandate, please<br />

CDPHE RELEASES<br />

COLORADO’S DIAL FRAMEWORK<br />

FOR PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORS,<br />

SAFER AT HOME, AND STAY AT HOME<br />

In September, in an effort to manage the pandemic in<br />

Colorado, the Colorado Department of Public Health and<br />

Environment (CDPHE) released a new dial graphic to help<br />

local governments and communities have a simple tool to<br />

make life amidst the pandemic more sustainable until we<br />

have a major breakthrough in testing, treatments, or a<br />

vaccine.<br />

This dial includes five levels, from least to most restrictive,<br />

and counties move between levels based on three metrics:<br />

1. Protect Our Neighbors: Local public health agencies are<br />

able to contain surges in cases and outbreaks through<br />

testing, case investigation, contact tracing, isolation,<br />

quarantine, site-specific closures, and enforcement of<br />

public health orders.<br />

2. Safer at Home 1: Cautious – This is less restrictive than<br />

Safer at Home Level 2, for counties with low virus<br />

Current Arapahoe County level at the time of publication.<br />

transmission but that have not yet achieved Protect Our<br />

Neighbors.<br />

3. Safer at Home 2: Concern – The baseline. While we are<br />

all still safer at home, we are also able to practice greater<br />

social distancing in our great outdoors than in confined<br />

indoor spaces.<br />

4. Safer at Home 3: High Risk – This is more restrictive<br />

than Safer at Home Level 2, for counties experiencing<br />

increases in the metrics. Action is needed, but Stay at<br />

Home may not be warranted.<br />

5. Stay at Home: Everyone is required to stay at home<br />

except for grocery shopping, exercise and necessary<br />

activities. Only critical businesses are open.<br />

Metrics that Counties move between levels based on these<br />

metrics:<br />

Number of new cases. The case count provides information<br />

on how prevalent the virus is circulating in communities.<br />

Percent positivity of COVID tests. The percent positivity is<br />

a clear indication if enough testing is being done.<br />

Impact on hospitalizations. Hospitalization data provides<br />

information about health care capacity.<br />

To move to a less restrictive level (e.g., Level 2 to Level 1),<br />

counties need to meet and sustain all three metrics for two<br />

weeks. Counties must engage in a consultation process with<br />

CDPHE, which may entail moving to a more restrictive<br />

level, when they are out of compliance with any of the<br />

metrics for more than two weeks.<br />

The dial replaces most variances. CDPHE will continue to<br />

consider applications for site-specific variances for unique<br />

facilities, stadiums, or other extra-large venues or events.<br />

Variance requests must conform to CDPHE requirements<br />

and be submitted by the local public health agency.<br />

SCHOOL CLOSURES, QUARANTINE AND<br />

ISOLATION, AND OTHER SCHOOL ISSUES<br />

As many students<br />

have gone back to<br />

in-person school<br />

learning, many<br />

parents have<br />

questions about<br />

who makes<br />

decisions around<br />

quarantine and<br />

isolation, school<br />

closures, and<br />

other COVID-19<br />

related issues. To<br />

help clarify roles and responsibilities, the process is as follows:<br />

The Colorado Department of Public Health and<br />

Environment in partnership with the Colorado Department<br />

of Education came up with guidelines for schools. Tri-<br />

County Health Department then works with school districts<br />

to come up with the best recommendations for the school<br />

and specific situations. Schools and school districts process<br />

public health recommendations and are responsible for<br />

implementation as appropriate for each scenario.<br />

A. We strongly recommend that everyone in a classroom or<br />

cohort stay home and quarantine when a person in that<br />

class/cohort is diagnosed with COVID-19. This is because<br />

illness could continue to circulate within that class/cohort if<br />

the students continue to have contact with each other if<br />

another cohort member gets infected (with or without<br />

symptoms). Keeping people home prevents further exposure<br />

and makes it less likely these individuals will develop<br />

COVID-19.<br />

For more information, please visit: covid19.colorado.gov/<br />

cases-and-outbreaks-child-care-schools. GV<br />

All of these<br />

decisions, at the<br />

state and local level<br />

are made by<br />

experts in health<br />

and education with<br />

the most recent<br />

evidence-based<br />

guidance about<br />

how to manage<br />

COVID-19.<br />

Here are some of the top questions and answers:<br />

Q. Why can’t a negative PCR test be used to release a student or<br />

student athlete from quarantine?<br />

A. A negative test cannot be used to release an individual<br />

from quarantine early because the 14-day quarantine period<br />

is based on the incubation period of COVID-19 (meaning<br />

the time it could for infection to occur after an exposure).<br />

Even if someone has a negative test on one particular day, the<br />

test could be positive anytime thereafter or symptoms could<br />

start up through 14 days of quarantine. Please see additional<br />

guidance from the CDC Quarantine Guidance.<br />

Q. What is a confirmed outbreak at a school?<br />

A. Two or more people from separate households with<br />

confirmed COVID-19 that occurs within 14 days in a single<br />

classroom or cohort (and there are no other common<br />

exposures).<br />

Q. If a classmate in my child’s cohort tests positive for COVID-<br />

19, why does my child have to quarantine for 14 days.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

HALLOWEEN AND COVID<br />

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention<br />

advises against traditional trick-or-treating this year due to<br />

the coronavirus as these activities can be high-risk for<br />

increasing the spread. However, there are several safer,<br />

alternative ways to participate in Halloween. Just be mindful<br />

the greater the distance, the lower the risk of spreading a<br />

respiratory virus. People that have been exposed to the virus<br />

or tested positive should not participate in any Halloween<br />

activities.<br />

LOWER RISK ACTIVITIES<br />

• Carving or decorating pumpkins with members of your<br />

household and displaying them.<br />

• Carving or decorating pumpkins outside, at a safe<br />

distance, with neighbors or friends.<br />

• Decorating your house, apartment, or living space.<br />

• Doing a Halloween scavenger hunt where children are<br />

given lists of Halloween-themed things to look for while<br />

they walk outdoors from house to house admiring<br />

Halloween decorations at a distance.<br />

• Having a virtual Halloween costume contest.<br />

• Having a Halloween movie night with people you live<br />

with.<br />

• Having a scavenger hunt-style trick-or-treat search with<br />

your household members in or around your home rather<br />

than going house to house.<br />

MODERATE RISK ACTIVITIES<br />

• Participating in one-way trick-or-treating where<br />

individually wrapped goodie bags are lined up for families<br />

to grab and go while continuing to social distance (such as<br />

at the end of a driveway or at the edge of a yard).<br />

• If you are preparing goodie bags, wash your hands with<br />

soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after<br />

preparing the bags.<br />

• Having a small group, outdoor, open-air costume parade<br />

where people are distanced more than 6 feet apart<br />

• Attending a costume party held outdoors where protective<br />

masks are used and people can remain more than 6 feet apart.<br />

• Going to an open-air, one-way, walk-through haunted<br />

forest where appropriate mask use is enforced, and people<br />

can remain more than 6 feet apart.<br />

• Visiting pumpkin patches or orchards where people use<br />

hand sanitizer before touching pumpkins or picking<br />

apples, wearing masks is encouraged or enforced, and<br />

people are able to maintain social distancing.<br />

• Having an outdoor Halloween movie night with local<br />

family friends with people spaced at least 6 feet apart.<br />

HIGHER RISK ACTIVITIES<br />

• Participating in traditional trick-or-treating where treats<br />

are handed to children who go door to door.<br />

• Having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out from<br />

trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots.<br />

• Attending crowded costume parties held indoors.<br />

• Going to an indoor haunted house where people may be<br />

crowded together and screaming.<br />

• Going on hayrides or tractor rides with people who are<br />

not in your household.<br />

• Traveling to a rural fall festival that is not in your<br />

community if you live in an area with community spread<br />

of COVID-19. GV<br />

MASKS AND COSTUMES<br />

A costume mask is not a<br />

substitute for a cloth mask. A<br />

costume mask should not be<br />

used unless it is made of two<br />

or more layers of breathable<br />

fabric that covers the mouth<br />

and nose and doesn’t leave<br />

gaps around the face.<br />

Do not wear a costume mask<br />

over a protective cloth mask because it can be dangerous if the<br />

costume mask makes it hard to breathe. Instead, consider<br />

using a Halloween-themed cloth mask.<br />

7 CREATIVE TIPS<br />

TO CELEBRATE<br />

HALLOWEEN<br />

GO BIG ON DECORATING<br />

This may well be the year to pull out the<br />

stops decorating in and outside your home,<br />

just for the fun of it. String up some lights.<br />

NO GRAB BOWLS<br />

Rethink the way you pass out candy. Maybe<br />

individually bagging treats and leaving them<br />

on a table on your driveway for children to<br />

take as they walk by.<br />

DANGLE TREATS<br />

Hang candy from the fence for children to<br />

grab as they pass or from a tree near your<br />

front porch.<br />

KEEP IT INDOORS<br />

Fill a Halloween bag with candy, hide in your<br />

house and then turn off the lights so your<br />

children have to search for the goodies in the<br />

dark. Variations on the theme could include a<br />

scavenger hunt in the house or yard, or a set<br />

of clues for older children to decipher.<br />

EERIE, GLOWING ... EGGS<br />

Break out those plastic eggs you use to hide<br />

candy at Easter and decorate them with<br />

scary faces or decals. Fill the eggs with<br />

candy and hide them outside or around the<br />

house. If you stuff them with glow sticks,<br />

you can even turn out the lights or search<br />

the yard at night for eerie, glowing eggs.<br />

MOVIE SCARE-A-THON<br />

Haunted houses are not recommended, but<br />

you can screen Halloween-themed movies<br />

indoors or out if you have a projector and a screen or some other blank<br />

surface. The nice thing about home-based scary movies is you can adjust the<br />

scare-o-meter to fit your family’s tastes (and terror tolerances).<br />

BOO SOMEONE, SWEETLY<br />

Think of “booing” someone as a kind of random act of kindness for<br />

Halloween. Wrap up a (nice) Halloween treat, drop it at a neighbor or<br />

friend’s door, ring the bell and run like crazy. The idea is to spread some<br />

holiday cheer. GV<br />

During a time where it is hard to get away, why not take<br />

your taste buds on a trip around the world by visiting Spice<br />

Trade Brewery & Kitchen. Spice Trade Brewing opened in<br />

2008 brewing out of the Yak & Yeti Indian restaurant in<br />

Arvada, Colorado. In May 2020, they opened as a standalone<br />

brewery and kitchen in Greenwood Village. Spice Trade<br />

Brewing offers unique beer styles inspired by culinary<br />

ingredients from around the world and a seasonally rotating<br />

menu of globally inspired street food that can be enjoyed as<br />

dine-in or take-out.<br />

The four owners have come together from different places<br />

and backgrounds to do what they are passionate about and<br />

provide only the best for their customers. Head Brewer and<br />

Owner Jeff Tyler made the change from mechanical<br />

engineering to become an award-winning brewer. Chef and<br />

Owner Jason Bray has an extensive history with the culinary<br />

arts and continues to perfect his craft. Manager and Owner<br />

Amy Crowfoot brings her experience from teaching, news<br />

research and business management to the team. Owner Dol<br />

Bhattarai owns and operates four Yak<br />

& Yeti Indian restaurants throughout<br />

Colorado along with other business<br />

ventures.<br />

Greenwood Village caught their eye<br />

while looking for the perfect location<br />

to open their flagship brewery and<br />

kitchen. The Village has much to<br />

offer both residents and visitors, but<br />

the owners of Spice Trade Brewing<br />

noticed that it was lacking the local<br />

breweries found in many other<br />

communities. Spice Trade Brewing<br />

decided that Greenwood Village provided a great opportunity<br />

and after talking with some residents realized their concept of<br />

globally inspired beer and street food would be a welcome<br />

addition to the neighborhood. Spice Trade Brewing brings<br />

not just award-winning beer to the Village, but an awardwinning<br />

chef as well.<br />

GENERAL INTEREST<br />

LEAF REMOVAL OPTIONS<br />

As we enter into the fall season, keeping Greenwood<br />

Village clean will continue to be a priority. To assist<br />

with these activities, we ask that you do not place<br />

loose leaves or yard debris in the street as our<br />

sweepers are not equipped to pick up large piles of<br />

leaves. Moreover, this debris can be wind blown or<br />

inappropriately washed into the storm systems and<br />

waterways of the Village. Instead, please look to<br />

other options to dispose of this debris.<br />

• Arrange for your lawn care provider to remove<br />

the leaves when performing your yard service.<br />

• Bag your leaves in compostable paper yard waste<br />

bags and place them out with your weekly trash<br />

pick up. These bags of leaves will end up in the<br />

landfill and paper is preferred over plastic which<br />

will never break down and is bad for the<br />

environment no matter what its destination.<br />

• Republic Services has no limit as to how many bags of<br />

leaves they will pick up, however, keep in mind if some<br />

bags are left at the curb they will be returning once they<br />

have unloaded their truck.<br />

• Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at University<br />

Boulevard and Orchard Road has teamed up with the<br />

City of Greenwood Village to provide residents with<br />

FREE compostable paper yard waste bags. Use the<br />

provided coupon or visit www.acelittletoncherryhills.com<br />

to download your free coupon. Each resident will be<br />

eligible for a free pack, while supplies last during the<br />

month of <strong>October</strong>. For more information, please contact<br />

Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at 5910 S.<br />

University, Suite A-17, Greenwood<br />

Village, 720-974-1080.<br />

• Recycle your leaves at Village Greens<br />

Park. Leaves can be dropped off loose<br />

or in bags between <strong>October</strong> 10 and<br />

December 2, 2020, in the dedicated<br />

area of the north parking lot any day<br />

of the week. This option is<br />

environmentally friendly with staff<br />

spreading and disking into the soil<br />

where native grass cannot be<br />

established adding nutrients, helping<br />

with moisture and also providing a<br />

place for soil-borne microorganisms to<br />

live. It does not impact the landfill and<br />

it is cost effective. No bags are required<br />

and you do not have to wait until your<br />

trash day to dispose of them.<br />

For more information, please contact<br />

Public Works at 303-708-6100. GV<br />

WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />

Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street.<br />

The street sweeping equipment is not able to handle branches or<br />

large quantities of leaves and grass and can spread these materials<br />

around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when it rains,<br />

these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm<br />

drains and eventually lead to Village waterways such as streams<br />

and ponds. These materials over fertilize the water and encourage<br />

harmful aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which has a lasting<br />

negative impact on water quality, local ecology and recreational<br />

use of our waterways and is a form of stormwater pollution. Just<br />

like we would ask you to not throw trash in the street, it is the<br />

same for leaves.<br />
