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 />

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 />

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 />
