GOVERNMENT THE MAYOR’S message continued from page 4 traffic. In addition to the circle, the intersection of Orchard Drive and Orchard Road was realigned. 2. The Monaco Street Traffic Circles. These traffic circles were originally installed in the late 1990s as a traffic calming measure; helping reduce speeds along the roadway. The existing circles were hard to maintain and not very aesthetically pleasing. The Village developed a new design that was more aesthetically pleasing, more cohesive with the Village’s existing structural features, and easier to maintain. 3. The implementation of a digital approach to capital projects and right of way permits by our Public Works Department. Public Works implemented the Trimble R2 Unit to inventory annual pavement and concrete rehabilitation contracts such as asphalt patch locations, asphalt crack repair, utility adjustments, and concrete panel replacement. This program allows the Village to better manage our substantial pavement rehabilitation program by bringing efficiency, precision, accountability, and forethought to our annual maintenance and project permitting processes. GV AWARDED THREE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS I am pleased to announce the Village has been awarded three (3) grants to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. These grants were awarded by the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) through its Charge Ahead Colorado program. These EV charging stations will be multi-port stations that are capable of charging up to two vehicles at a time. The charging stations will be placed in two Village locations: Two EV charger stations will be placed at City Hall: one in the parking lot that serves William McKinley Carson Park and the other in the main City Hall parking lot. The third EV charging station will be placed on a public easement within the Arapahoe Entertainment District. These stations will complement the existing charging stations previously installed at the city’s maintenance facility. The RAQC grant provides the Village up to $9,000 per charging station or approximately 80% of the multi-port charging station expense. This grant requires the Village to provide the remaining 20% as a match. Staff will begin soliciting bids in January and the charging stations should be operational this summer. All the best to you and yours in 2022! — George Twitter twitter.com/greenwoodgov Facebook facebook.com/greenwoodgov/ Instagram instagram.com/cityofgreenwoodvillage LinkedIn linkedin.com/cityofgreenwoodvillage YouTube YouTube.com/greenwoodvillage PG. 6 GV NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 2022
