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 />

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 />

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 />

AND ICE ISSUES<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

because of the great opportunity to serve the many wonderful<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 />
