SAFETY MESSAGES

The Marshall Fire demonstrated the

importance of an emergency alert

system. With this in mind, we would

like to encourage you to sign up for

the Village Police Department's safety

messages.

You will find a flyer inserted in this

newsletter that provides instructions

on how to sign up for our emergency

alert system — ArapAlert. The system

currently has access to landline

telephones through the 911 database.

If you have a landline, you should

receive safety messages issued by the

system. However, you must “OPT

IN” to receive safety messages on

either your cell phone, or through

text or email.

We encourage residents, businesses

and people that work in Greenwood

Village to sign up. The sign up is very

easy and only takes a few minutes.

Visit arapalert.org for information

and to sign-up.

Happy

Valentine’s

Day

In March, the Greenwood Village

Police Department will be conducting

a system test for people registered in

the Village. The test will allow us to

determine how many people in

Greenwood Village we are able to

reach in case of an emergency.

If you have any questions or need

assistance signing up, please call

the Police Department at

303-773-2525 or email

STATE SENATE BILL 20-217

FINANCIAL IMPACT TO

GREENWOOD VILLAGE

In 2020, the Colorado legislature passed Senate Bill 20-217,

also known as the police reform accountability law. The new

law, effective July 1, 2023, requires all local law enforcement

agencies such as the Greenwood Village Police Department

to issue body-worn cameras to their officers. The body-worn

cameras shall be worn and activated by every police officer

when responding to a call for service or during any

interaction with the public. In addition, the law requires all

recordings of an incident be released to the public within 21

days after the local law enforcement agency receives a

complaint of misconduct.

Prior to the enactment of the new State law, the Village had

already followed the State mandate apart from the body-worn

cameras. The Village had used both body mics and dash

cameras since 2001.

In the fall 2020, the City Council approved the Police

Department’s recommendation, as outlined in the provisions

of Senate Bill 20-217, to update the Village’s WatchGuard

system including purchasing body-worn cameras.

The total cost (initial equipment investment) for the

purchase of the Body-worn cameras, in-car dash-mounted

recording system, and interview room recording

system was $451,672. Annual operating costs

starting in 2022 for 24-hours/day and 365 days a

year shared “cloud service” storage will be $60,660.

The Village WatchGuard system includes:

• 34 total mobile in-car cameras

(includes 1 mounted motorcycle camera)

• 4 interview room/booking room cameras

• 73 body-worn cameras (67 commissioned)

(4 non-commissioned/code enforcement)

Senate Bill 20-217 is a State unfunded mandate that

does not provide any funding to local law

enforcement agencies to follow the new law. The

cost of the upgrade to the Village’s WatchGuard

system has been paid and ongoing annual operating

costs will be maintained from the Village’s annual

operating budget.

PEDESTRIANS: RULES OF THE

ROAD TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE

According to the U. S. Department of Transportation,

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2019,

there were 6,205 pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in the

United States. A pedestrian was killed every 85 minutes in

traffic accidents in 2019. A total of 76,000 pedestrians were

injured in traffic accidents in the United States.

Traffic and Pedestrian

Signals: Pedestrians must

yield the right-of-way to

drivers by obeying traffic

signals, observing pedestrian

signals and using

crosswalks. The pedestrian

signals are:

WALK (Constantly

Lighted): Pedestrians facing

the signal may cross the

roadway in the direction of

the signal.

DON’T WALK (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start to

cross the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly

completed his cross may continue.

DON’T WALK (Constantly Lighted): Pedestrians may

not enter the roadway.

Crossing a Roadway: Always cross the street at a designated

crosswalk. Pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers.

Within a Crosswalk: If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, a

vehicle has to yield. However, if a vehicle is 20 feet away

from the crosswalk and traveling at 30 mph,

the pedestrian must yield as the vehicle does

not have enough time to stop safely.

Intersections: Be careful at intersections,

where drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way

to pedestrians while turning onto another

street.

Joggers and Walkers: Joggers and walkers should use

jogging paths when provided. On public roads, joggers

should try to select wide roads with good shoulders. They

should face oncoming traffic and remember to look and

listen for cars. At night or any time visibility is poor, joggers

and walkers should be in well-lighted areas and wear

reflective clothing.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 2022


Autumn Hills Trail Corridor

(District 4)

Project Description: The Autumn

Hills trail corridor has duel crusher

fine and paved trails that were

originally intended to accommodate

equestrian users that now no longer

exist. The asphalt on the paced trail is

due for rehabilitation; however, it

may be most appropriate to eliminate

the crusher fine trail and relocate the

asphalt trail to allow for improved

drainage, functionality, and aesthetics.

The public process and design is

proposed for 2022 with construction

of improvements to include

replacement of split-rail fence along

Prentice Avenue in 2023.

Drinking Fountain

Reestablishment —

Orchards Hills Park and

Hoffman Park

(Districts 3 & 4)

Project Description: Drinking

fountains at both Orchard Hills Park

and Hoffman Park had to be removed

due to water quality concerns from

Denver Water. Through discussions

with Denver Water, the fountains can

be reestablished upon replacement of

the waterlines from the tap and

installation of backflow preventors.

Scope of work also includes

installation of new drinking fountains

that include ADA compliant drinking

fountains, bottle filler, and dog water

bowls to best meet park user needs.

Dayton Streetscape —

West Side from Orchard Drive

to Powers Drive

(District 3)

Project Description: Upon

completion of the Dayton Well

renovations, the trail from Orchard

Drive to Powers Drive will be

Orchard Drive between South Holly

Street and East Orchard Road.

Project includes replacement of split

rail fence.

Westlands 5-12 Playground

Equipment (District 2)

Project Description: Westlands Park

playground was installed in 2000.

Due to increased maintenance and

lack of available replacement parts,

the phased replacement is warranted.

The 5-12 playground equipment is

the proposed first phase which is the

furthest north portion of the

playground area. The time and

composite members are worn,

requiring continuous maintenance to

ensure safe use. The swingset and

slider/zipline are recommended to

remain as they are both heavily used

and in good working condition.

MISCELLANEOUS

Noise Wall Rehabilitation

(Village-wide)

Project Description: As identified in

2019 the city-owned noise walls

throughout the Village are in need of

various types of repairs. Based on the

repair methods and identify

construction costs. This project will

span multiple years. 2022 will

continue with repairs in Cherry

Creek Village South and Sundance

Hills. GV

The importance of quality dental care is critical to the health

of every individual. Wouldn’t it be convenient if you could

receive both personalized pediatric dental and orthodontic

care at the same location? Patra Watana Pediatric Dentistry &

Iritani Orthodontics is a family-owned practice that prides

themselves on treating patients like they are part of the family.

Dr. Patra Watana and Dr. Mark Iritani, a wife and husband

team, started practicing in the Village in August 1992. On

the pediatric dental side, Dr. Watana provides dentistry for

infants, toddlers, adolescents, and patients with special

healthcare needs. Her services include sealants, tooth-color

fillings, baby root canals, crowns, and extractions. She offers

laughing gas as well as general anesthesia. Dr. Iritani provides

braces and Invisalign clear aligners for kids, teens, and adults.

Orthodontic consultations are free, and they are happy to

give second opinions. They have both embraced technology

using 3D scanning, indirect bonding for placing braces, 3D

printing of digital models, and in-office aligner fabrication.

Dr. Iritani and Dr. Watana chose to practice in Greenwood

Village because they had already decided to live in the Village

because of the excellent school district. Their children, Dr.

Matt and Dr. Megan, are fourth generation Coloradans and

were raised going to

Cottonwood Elementary

School, Campus Middle

School, and Cherry Creek

High School. After 30 years

of practicing in the Village,

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT


their parent’s footsteps and working with them to take over

their practices. Dr. Matt states, “It has been my dream for 25

years to become a dentist. My sister and I will continue my

parent’s legacy in the Village because they have built strong

bonds within this great community over the years. We are

proud to continue these roots in Greenwood Village.”

Both Dr. Iritani and Dr. Matt teach in the orthodontic

residency program at the University of Colorado School of

Dental Medicine. Together they have 30+ years of experience

and are board certified by the American Board of

Orthodontics. Dr. Iritani was the past president of the

Colorado Orthodontic Association. Dr. Watana is on staff at

the Children’s Hospital and is a former faculty member at the

dentist school as well. Dr. Megan will be finishing her

pediatric residency program in Houston in June 2022.

Their newly built-out office is located at 8925 East Union

Avenue in the Union Exchange shopping center located at

East Union Avenue and South Yosemite Street. They are

excited to open the doors of their new office space in March

2022 and they are looking forward to taking care of their

customers at their new “home” in the Village. They offer

same day appointments so you may get your dentistry and

orthodontic needs met at the same time. They can better

coordinate extractions, restorative work, and space

management because treatment is in the same office. They

can also provide more effective dental cleanings because they

can remove your orthodontic wires before your dental

cleaning.

Their business hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.

until 5 p.m. and one Saturday a month from 7:30 a.m. until

2 p.m. They are closed on Sundays. Visit their website at

denverorthopedo.com for more information about their

pediatric dentistry and orthodontic practice. Patra Watana

Pediatric Dentistry may be reached by telephone at

303-740-7088 and Iritani Orthodontics may be reached by

telephone at 303-773-6969.

Their practice would like to thank all their patients and

families for their continued support through many years of

practice in Greenwood Village. If you are not currently a

patient and are looking for exceptional customer service with

a high standard of care for your family, then reach out to

Patra Watana Pediatric Dentistry & Iritani Orthodontics for

“dentistry for your family from their family!” GV

COVID-19 UPDATE — WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

BOARD OF HEALTH VOTES TO

END MASK REQUIREMENTS

Tri-County Health Department Public Health Orders

requiring masks in public indoor spaces, schools and child

care facilities in Adams and Arapahoe counties are both set to

expire as of February 5, 2022.

Due to rapidly improving COVID-19 conditions, vaccine

availability as well as a wide range of effective prevention

measures available to our schools and community —

including the

availability of highquality

masks, rapid

testing, good

ventilation, and

having people stay

home when they

are sick — the

Board decided that

this was an

appropriate time to

end masking

requirements via public health order and to allow schools and

communities to decide what works best in their contexts.

For more information, visit tchd.org.

FREE COVID-19 TESTS
