ALEXANDER LANE<br />

EQUESTRIAN PARK<br />

I would like to introduce you to the<br />

Alexander Lane Equestrian Park.<br />

The 2.4-acre park is located at 2501<br />

East Alexander Lane; nestled in the<br />

heart of rural Greenwood Village<br />

Former<br />

Councilmember<br />

Jerry Presley,<br />

Mayor George<br />

Lantz, and former<br />

Councilmember<br />

Tom Dougherty.<br />

with access to the High Line Canal<br />

and several natural equestrian creek<br />

crossings. The Park also provides a trail<br />

course, a cross country course, and a<br />

riding arena. Equestrians may only<br />

access the Park by horseback. The<br />

Village purchased the land in 2002<br />

and worked closely with the <strong>GV</strong><br />

equestrian community to develop the<br />

design of the arena and training<br />

features completing the park in 2007.<br />

Partial funding for the park was<br />

provided by an Arapahoe County<br />

Open Space Sales and Use Tax grant.<br />

It is an unusual treasure.<br />

POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR<br />

Congratulations to Greenwood Village Police Officer Rodney<br />

Valenzuela for being named <strong>GV</strong> Police Officer of the Year.<br />

Rodney was selected by a Police Department committee<br />

comprised of his peer group, who forwards their<br />

recommendation to the Chief of Police for final approval. In<br />

November, Rodney was recognized at an awards event hosted<br />

by Cherry Creek High School.<br />

Rodney has held multiple roles during his 18 years with the<br />

Village. He primarily serves as a School Resource Officer<br />

(SRO) assigned to Greenwood Elementary and West Middle<br />

School. In his SRO role, Rodney has developed outstanding<br />

relationships with students, staff, and parents. In addition,<br />

Rodney is a dedicated Community Liaison Officer, works as<br />

a Crisis Team Negotiator and attends HOA meetings<br />

throughout the Village. Rodney manages state compliance for<br />

departmental data bases and works as an experienced<br />

departmental dispatcher when the need arises. Rodney is well<br />

known for his community outreach efforts. These include<br />

Coffee with a Cop, the Summer Youth Academy, Fall<br />

On behalf of the Village, thank you Officer Valenzuela<br />

for all you do for Greenwood Village!<br />

VILLAGE HERO<br />

I would like to recognize Cyndee Claphanson as a<br />

Village Hero! Former City Councilmember Jerry<br />

Presley noticed Cyndee picking up liter around<br />

Fiddler’s Green Circle following a concert at the<br />

Amphitheater. Jerry was amazed by her selfless act.<br />

While no big deal to Cyndee, Jerry requested the<br />

Village recognize her as a Village Hero. Jerry indicated<br />

in his nomination, “I believe it’s the small things we<br />

do, when we think people aren’t watching, that reveal our<br />

true character.” Congratulations Cyndee and thank you for<br />

your efforts to keep our community beautiful!<br />

SOCK CAMPAIGN<br />

We have officially launched our annual Greenwood Village<br />

Sock Campaign. The Village has teamed up with local<br />

businesses, organizations, and schools. Our goal is to collect<br />

10,000 pairs of NEW socks for the homeless. We could use<br />

your help! Please drop off NEW socks at City Hall,<br />

6060 South Quebec Street, or the Curtis Center for the Arts,<br />

2349 E. Orchard Road through January 10, 2022. If you are<br />

interested in hosting a sock collection location, it’s not too<br />

late to sign up. Please call the City Manager’s Office at<br />

303-486-5745. Please help us make a difference this holiday<br />

season.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

GET READY FOR winter<br />

GREENWOOD VILLAGE IS<br />

READY FOR THE SNOW SEASON<br />

The Village is ready for the snow season. The Snow and Ice<br />

Program ensures roadways and trails are safe and accessible<br />

during and after snow events. Snow and Ice operations<br />

consist of three elements: snow plowing, application of<br />

materials for traction and ice control, and snow and/or ice<br />

removal if safety or accessibility have been jeopardized.<br />

ROADWAYS<br />

All roadways in the Village are classified into either first or<br />

second priority. The first priority routes include the high<br />

volume roadways that connect major sections of the<br />

community, all school bus routes, and residential roadways<br />

which connect the neighborhood to higher volume roadways.<br />

Heavy snow accumulations may require repeated passes over<br />

first priority roadways before second priority roadways are<br />

plowed. Operations are repeated until the storm stops and all<br />

roadway surfaces are cleared.<br />

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL IN<br />

RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL<br />

AND RETAIL AREAS<br />

VILLAGE CODE IN PLACE TO ENSURE<br />

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND SAFETY<br />

Residents or tenants in possession or control of any singlefamily<br />

residential property having a sidewalk abutting the front<br />

or, in the case of a corner lot, the front and side of a residence<br />

shall maintain the sidewalk in a condition free from snow or ice<br />

and shall remove any accumulation of snow or ice from such<br />

sidewalks within forty-eight (48) hours after its accumulation.<br />

This responsibility does not extend to driveways or walkways<br />

leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks or<br />

trails abutting the rear property of a residence.<br />

ICE MITIGATION<br />

There are certain locations in Village neighborhoods that are<br />

prone to ice formation due to shade or poor drainage. Once ice<br />

forms, it is difficult to remove without damage to equipment or<br />

infrastructure. Be on the lookout for snow and ice operators<br />

moving snow piles from the shade to sun-exposed locations in<br />

order to minimize ice build-up.<br />

Snow and ice control operations begin in secondary areas<br />

(residential neighborhoods) after first priority roadways have<br />

been cleared. Snow is plowed and piled to an area that does<br />

not block traffic flow. Snow cannot be piled in the center of<br />

the roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on<br />

the roadway. Residential roadways are not plowed from edge<br />

to edge to avoid covering sidewalks or blocking driveways.<br />

Removal of snow piles will only occur when safety or<br />

accessibility has been jeopardized. If possible, remove<br />

vehicles from the roadways during storms for better clearing<br />

of snow.<br />

SNOW SHIFT HOURS<br />

Village personnel who perform road and park maintenance<br />

during the summer months conduct snow and ice control<br />

operations in the winter. A weather service Skyview Weather,<br />

provides information regarding weather conditions. Snow<br />

shifts are activated when a snowstorm begins. The typical<br />

shift hours are 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m.<br />

to 5 a.m., all days of the week, including holidays.<br />

USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING<br />

NEAR SNOWPLOWS<br />

When driving near a snowplow, slow down and use caution.<br />

Give plow drivers plenty of room so they can do their job<br />

efficiently and safely.<br />

Business owners and property managers are required to<br />

remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 24-hours<br />

after accumulation. This requirement also prohibits any deposit<br />

of snow or ice from any property onto any sidewalk, street, or<br />

roadway in the Village.<br />

For more information or to file a complaint, please call<br />

Neighborhood Services at 303-486-5783 or email us at<br />

nso@greenwoodvillage.com.<br />

PG. 8 <strong>GV</strong> NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER <strong>2021</strong>


GOVERNMENT<br />

EQUIPMENT<br />

The Village owns and maintains a<br />

variety of vehicles to ensure effective<br />

snow and ice control operations.<br />

Equipment includes <strong>12</strong> plow trucks,<br />

one anti-icing truck, one slide-in<br />

tanker, one grader, and one loader for<br />

snow and ice operations on roadways.<br />

In addition, there are three All-Terrain<br />

Vehicles (ATVs), six pickup trucks<br />

with plows and many hand-held<br />

snowblowers and shovels used to clear<br />

the trails, sidewalks and parking lots.<br />

In order to ensure that all equipment<br />

is operational, mechanics are available<br />

at all times during snowstorms to<br />

handle any equipment problems.<br />

MATERIALS<br />

The Village applies solid and liquid<br />

materials for traction and ice control<br />

to improve traveling conditions during<br />

snow and ice events. Staff monitors<br />

each storm to determine the<br />

appropriate application of materials<br />

depending on the weather conditions.<br />

Additionally, materials are continually<br />

evaluated to identify the most effective<br />

products with the least amount of<br />

environmental impact.<br />

CONCRETE/ASPHALT<br />

TRAILS, SIDEWALKS<br />

AND PARKING LOTS<br />

The Village plows snow from concrete<br />

and asphalt trails, and some sidewalks<br />

and parking lots. First priority trails<br />

are those leading to and from schools.<br />

The parking lot at Village Greens Park<br />

is the responsibility of the Village<br />

along with snow control operations on<br />

STEP CAREFULLY<br />

Thaw/freeze conditions can cause new<br />

ice on trails, sidewalks and parking<br />

lots; always use caution when walking<br />

on these during periods of freezing<br />

weather.<br />

sidewalks and parking lots at City<br />

Hall, Curtis Center for the Arts and<br />

the Maintenance Facility. The parking<br />

lots of these facilities are also first<br />

priority for snow plowing and are<br />

cleared simultaneously with the first<br />

priority trails. The parking lots in<br />

other Village owned parks are then<br />

cleared. During the average<br />

snowstorm, it takes about eight hours<br />

to clear trails, sidewalks and parking<br />

lots. Crews often start as early as<br />

5 a.m. Trail crews periodically check<br />

trails for problem areas if the<br />

temperature remains below freezing<br />

for extended periods of time.<br />

QUESTIONS OR<br />

AND ICE ISSUES<br />

ENSURING A SAFE<br />

community<br />

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL IN<br />

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS<br />

ICE ISN’T NICE!<br />

It is winter and residents may experience ice issues in front of<br />

their respective properties. The ice build-up occurs when<br />

melted snow flows into gutters and onto sidewalks in shaded<br />

areas that have a north-facing exposure.<br />

Due to the freeze and thaw cycles experienced during winter<br />

months, some areas may experience more severe icing<br />

than others.<br />

SAFETY FIRST<br />

Ice can be a safety hazard for children and adults walking in<br />

neighborhoods and can cause unwanted slip and fall<br />

accidents, leading to some surprisingly serious injuries. As a<br />

resident, you can even become a victim to falling on the ice<br />

in your own driveway or on your sidewalk in front of your<br />

property.<br />

AVOID FALLING ON THE ICE<br />

• Keep your<br />

steps and<br />

walkways free<br />

of ice using<br />

rock salt or<br />

sand.<br />

• Walk slowly<br />

and cautiously<br />

with your feet<br />

pointing<br />

outward. Take<br />

short, flat<br />

steps.<br />

• Avoid wearing<br />

high-heeled<br />

shoes or boots<br />

outside. Wear<br />

flat shoes with<br />

slip resistant<br />

soles or rain/snow boots with some degree of traction.<br />

• Remove your boots once you get inside. Snow and ice often<br />

stick to the soles of the shoes and will melt almost<br />

immediately as your shoes begin to warm up, resulting in a<br />

slippery surface and the risk of a fall.<br />

WHAT RESIDENTS CAN DO<br />

• Keep curb-lines in residential areas free of excessive piles<br />

of snow allowing for the efficient drainage of the melting<br />

snow.<br />

• Be aware of shady spots in front of your property caused<br />

by large trees, shrubbery, parked cars, two story homes,<br />

etc., which limit the amount of sun and contribute to<br />

icing issues. Remove snow piles, compacted snow and<br />

parked cars on north facing properties immediately after<br />

snow fall. If possible, do not park on the street during<br />

snowstorms.<br />

• When removing snow from your sidewalk and/or<br />

driveway, place the snow on your lawn and refrain from<br />

shoveling or blowing the snow onto the curb or in the<br />

gutter which can block water flow thus increasing the<br />

potential of ice dam formations created during freeze thaw<br />

cycles.<br />

• Clear the snow the length of your property in the<br />

curb/gutter line to keep it free flowing. Push the snow out<br />

to the area where the concrete gutter meets the asphalt,<br />

this extra effort greatly assists in preventing ice dam<br />

formations<br />

• Shovel the sidewalks on all sides of your property, the full<br />

width of the sidewalk down to the pavement. After the<br />

sidewalk is cleared, sprinkle sand to prevent falls.<br />

WHAT GREENWOOD VILLAGE DOES<br />

A “one in and one out” plowing operation in residential<br />

neighborhoods is implemented. Plow trucks plow from the<br />

center of the roadway out toward the edge of the roadway in<br />

both directions. By doing this, snow is equally distributed<br />

on each side of the roadway leaving a clear path of travel for<br />

both incoming and outgoing traffic. This snow removal<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />

SNOW REMOVAL ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS<br />

Seniors, 60+ or the disabled can call Volunteers of America,<br />

Colorado Branch, to request assistance as part of their Snow<br />

Buddies program. Call 720-264-3379 or email<br />

info@voacolorado.org.<br />

method allows for the surface to dry at a quicker rate and<br />

for the melting snow to flow toward the curb/gutter on both<br />

sides of the street. Plowing curb to curb in residential areas<br />

is not performed to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking<br />

driveways. Snow cannot be piled in the center of the<br />

roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on the<br />

roadway.<br />

IT’S THE LAW!<br />

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to<br />

remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours.<br />

This requirement also includes removal of snow and ice<br />

from sidewalks in the front and side of a residence (corner<br />

lots). This requirement does not extend to walkways<br />

leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks<br />

or trails abutting the rear property of a residence. Clearing<br />

snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of the<br />

occupant.<br />

NEED SOME HELP?<br />

Are you a resident of Greenwood Village or know of a senior<br />

or a person with a disability who may have a hard time<br />

shoveling snow for any reason? Ask your neighbors to lend a<br />

hand to ensure your entire neighborhood is safe and<br />

accessible. Local Boy Scout troops and youth in the<br />

neighborhood are great resources to assist with residential<br />

snow removal. Don’t forget to arrange for someone to shovel<br />

your snow while you are on vacation or away from your<br />

home for a long period of time during winter storms.<br />

COVID-19 UPDATE<br />

we’re all in this together!<br />

TRI-COUNTY HEALTH ISSUES<br />

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER<br />

REQUIRING FACE COVERINGS<br />

This Order follows the Centers for Disease Control and<br />

Prevention (CDC) recommendation that all persons 2 years<br />

of age and older, including fully vaccinated individuals,<br />

should wear face coverings indoors in public in areas with<br />

high rates of community transmission, which currently<br />

includes Adams and Arapahoe counties.<br />

The public health order will be in effect Wednesday,<br />

November 24, <strong>2021</strong> through January 2, 2022, and thereafter<br />

until staffed ICU beds availability is above 10%. Currently<br />

staffed ICU bed availability in the North Central Region that<br />

covers Adams and Arapahoe counties is 5.8 percent.<br />

Exemptions from the public health order include individuals<br />

under age 2, those individuals who cannot medically tolerate<br />

a face mask, and businesses and facilities that implement a<br />

voluntary Vaccine Verification Program using a policy that<br />

assures full vaccination of all employees, staff, guests, and<br />

customers.<br />

For more information, please visit tchd.org/coronavirus.<br />

COVID-19 VACCINE AVAILABLE<br />

FOR CHILDREN 5-11 YEARS<br />

In November, it was announced that the Pfizer-BioNTech<br />

COVID-19 vaccine is available for kids ages 5-11.<br />

Although fewer children have had COVID-19 compared to<br />

adults, they can still get it, become ill and spread it to others.<br />

Most children who do become sick with COVID-19 have<br />

mild symptoms or have no symptoms at all. However, some<br />

children can get severely ill from COVID-19. Children with<br />

underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe<br />

illness, and vaccination helps protect those children who are<br />

immunocompromised and cannot themselves receive a vaccine.<br />

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children is a<br />

two-dose series given at least three weeks (21 days) apart. The<br />

PG. 14 <strong>GV</strong> NEWSLETTER | DECEMBER <strong>2021</strong>


GOVERNMENT<br />

vaccine dose for children (10 micrograms) is a third of the<br />

vaccine dose used among people ages <strong>12</strong> and older (30<br />

micrograms).<br />

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) concluded<br />

the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages<br />

5-11 is safe and effective. The vaccine for children ages 5-11<br />

was about 90% effective in preventing COVID-19, and<br />

100% effective at preventing severe disease and death. The<br />

vaccine’s safety was studied in approximately 3,100 children<br />

ages 5-11 who received the vaccine and no serious side effects<br />

have been detected in the ongoing study.<br />

In the trial, side effects (normal signs that your body is<br />

building protection) among children were like those among<br />

adults. The most common side effects were pain at the<br />

injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain and chills.<br />

There were no severe events related to the vaccine. In<br />

addition, COVID-19 vaccines, and other vaccines, such as<br />

flu or other routine childhood immunizations, can be<br />

administered together.<br />

Kids ages 5-11 who are now eligible to get a COVID-19<br />

vaccine can get one for free close to home. No insurance or<br />

ID is required. Check with your child’s health care provider<br />

to see if they are offering the COVID-19 vaccine or visit<br />

COVIDFreeKids.org to find vaccination locations for<br />

children and families across the Denver Metro region.<br />

CDC EXPANDS ELIGIBILITY FOR COVID-19<br />

BOOSTER SHOTS TO ALL ADULTS<br />

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

expanded its recommendations for booster shots to include<br />

people 18 years and older who received Pfizer-BioNTech or<br />

Moderna COVID-19 vaccines may get a booster six months<br />

after completion of their primary vaccination series or two<br />

months after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. You<br />

may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a<br />

booster shot. People may prefer the vaccine type that they<br />

originally received or may prefer to get a different booster.<br />

CDC’s recommendations now allow this type of mix and<br />

match dosing for booster shots. <strong>GV</strong><br />

HOLIDAY<br />

SHOPPING<br />

SAFETY TIPS<br />

With the holidays upon us, the<br />

Village would like everyone to have<br />

a safe holiday season. Provided<br />

below are some safety tips of which<br />

to be aware and practice when doing<br />

your holiday shopping.<br />

• Be aware of your surroundings at<br />

all times.<br />

• When shopping, try to park in a<br />

well-lit portion of the parking lot<br />

or street.<br />

• When you park your car, secure<br />

the valuables that you have left in<br />

your car by placing them in the<br />

trunk. Do not leave cellular<br />

phones, purses, CD cases,<br />

laptops, or any other item of<br />

value in your parked car where<br />

they can be seen. It is better not<br />

to leave valuables in the car at<br />

all. Make sure you close your<br />

windows, lock your doors and<br />

activate your car alarm, if you<br />

have one.<br />

• Do not leave purchased<br />

merchandise in your parked car<br />

where it can be seen. Put these<br />

items in your trunk, or conceal<br />

them inside the vehicle.<br />

• Keep your purse on your body,<br />

not left in a cart or in the car. If<br />

you carry a small purse, carry it<br />

over your shoulder under your<br />

coat.<br />

Do not carry all of your credit<br />

cards with you. Leave your<br />

unneeded documents at home.<br />

• Always be aware of the location<br />

of your personal items. Know<br />

where your purse, cellular phone,<br />

wallet, packages, etc. are at all<br />

times. Do not leave them<br />

unattended. Do not overburden<br />

yourself with packages.<br />

• When you are finished shopping,<br />

have your keys in your hand<br />

before reaching your car door.<br />

Take notice of your<br />

surroundings. If you see that<br />

someone is watching you and<br />

that you may be a potential<br />

victim, return to the store<br />

immediately, and call security or<br />

the Police Department at 9-1-1.<br />

• Do whatever you need to keep<br />

safe, even if it means asking a<br />

security guard or a police officer<br />

to escort you to your car. It is<br />

always better to be safe than<br />

sorry.<br />

If you have any questions or need<br />

assistance, please call the Greenwood<br />

Village Police Department at<br />

PACKAGES<br />

SAFE FROM<br />

PORCH<br />

PIRATES<br />

It’s that time of year<br />

when your holiday<br />

packages start arriving<br />

at your front porch so here is a reminder<br />

about how to keep your items safe from<br />

porch pirates.<br />

• Get Permission to Ship All Your<br />

Packages to Work.<br />

• Ask a Friend or Neighbor to Receive<br />

Your Packages for You.<br />

• Set Up a Live Recording Video Camera<br />

Aimed at Your Porch.<br />

• Schedule packages to be delivered when<br />

you or someone you trust will definitely<br />

be there to pick it up.<br />

• Consider placing a planted pot or<br />

decorative piece on your porch that<br />

could hide a delivery.<br />

• Consider getting a lock box installed<br />

near your front yard door so that the<br />

delivery driver can put your package in<br />

a secure location.<br />

• Use a secure Amazon locker.<br />

pirate theft, please call the Police<br />

Are you looking for a fresh alternative as we head into the<br />

holiday season? If you are looking to add some nutritional<br />

choices to the typical holiday fare, look no further than<br />

Kwench Juice Café. Located off DTC Boulevard near East<br />

Prentice Avenue in the Village Plaza Shopping Center, this<br />

juice shop is centrally located near the many businesses and<br />

residential areas within the Village. Whether you want to stop<br />

in for their refreshing raw juices or scrumptious smoothies,<br />

this café will provide a delightful experience for one and all!<br />

Kwench Juice Café opened their doors in the Village on July<br />

1, <strong>2021</strong>. This café is solely owned and operated by Daniel<br />

Brhanykun. Daniel is originally from Eritrea, East Africa, and<br />

has been a resident of Colorado for the past 10 years. He has<br />

immersed himself in other types of businesses in the past;<br />

however, this is his first adventure in the restaurant business.<br />

“I chose Greenwood Village for my business location as I<br />

wanted to provide a beneficial, healthy meal option for the<br />

many residents and business professionals in the surrounding<br />

area,” stated Daniel. This is the first franchise in the state of<br />

Colorado and he hopes to expand in the Denver metropolitan<br />

area in the future.<br />

Their menu has numerous fresh and natural choices for their<br />

customers. To satisfy your thirst and boost your energy levels,<br />

you might want to try their raw juice or smoothie options.<br />

If you are “on the go” but need a little boost in your step,<br />

their energy bites might be the smart choice. Desiring your<br />

meal in a bowl instead of a cup, the acai or pitaya bowls are<br />

good alternatives for you. Other unique choices available at<br />

this delightful juice shop are Kombucha and Elderberry<br />

drinks. Interested in detoxifying your body, their juice cleanse<br />

might intrigue you. In addition to the current menu items,<br />

Daniel plans to add salads, soups, and quinoa bowls as lunch<br />

and dinner options in the future.<br />

Kwench Juice Café prides itself on using only the freshest,<br />

natural ingredients, both locally sourced and organically<br />

grown, in their products ensuring that you leave with the<br />

most nutritious product possible. There are no powders, sugar<br />

businesses and residents located adjacent to his café. He feels<br />

that Kwench Juice Café’s proximity to the business<br />

community provides an excellent opportunity for employees<br />

to enjoy a nice and relaxing lunch away from their hectic<br />

work schedule. It’s also convenient for the Village residents to<br />

stop by for a nourishing lunch while performing their<br />

weekend chores and errands.<br />
