FISHING<br />
DERBY<br />
WRAP UP<br />
Thank you to<br />
everyone who<br />
attended the Fishing<br />
Derby. It was great<br />
to see so many<br />
people taking part<br />
in the event,<br />
catching fish,<br />
enjoying pancakes,<br />
and cheering for<br />
their favorite rubber duck as they<br />
crossed the finish line. The<br />
cormorants and pelicans showed<br />
up a day later for their own fishing<br />
derby.<br />

BRANCH PICK UP<br />
Our community was hit hard by<br />
the recent snowstorm resulting in<br />
significant damage to the trees in our<br />
parks, on trails, along sidewalks, and<br />
on private property. I want to extend<br />
my appreciation to the crews of our<br />
Public Works and Parks, Trails and<br />
Recreation Departments who initiated<br />
the removal of broken tree branches<br />
the day after the storm. This level of<br />
service is why Greenwood Village is<br />
such a special place to live. If you have<br />
additional branches, cut them into<br />
10-foot lengths and call the Village for<br />
a large item pickup. Please remember<br />
large item pickup is offered by the<br />
Village year-round. The number to call<br />
is 303-708-6100.<br />

NOISE WALL<br />
REHABILITATION<br />
PROJECT<br />
Greenwood Village constructed noise<br />
walls on many busy Village streets.<br />
The purpose of these noise walls is to<br />
mitigate traffic noise in the<br />
surrounding neighborhoods. This year<br />
we are continuing the Noise Wall<br />
Rehabilitation Program to maintain<br />
and repair Village owned noise walls.<br />
Currently, repairs are underway at the<br />
following locations. These repairs are<br />
expected to be completed in <strong>June</strong>.<br />
• King Soopers Trail: between<br />
Belleview and Chenango<br />
(West perimeter of Cherry Creek<br />
Village South)<br />
• Sundance Hills: at the south-east<br />
perimeter, along Orchard Road<br />
between South Florence Street and<br />
South Havana Street<br />
• Sundance Hills: at the north-east<br />
perimeter, along South Havana<br />
Street<br />
If you have questions about the <strong>GV</strong><br />
Noise Wall Rehabilitation program,<br />

Manager, at 720-749-8155<br />

KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNING<br />
DEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS<br />
During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potential<br />
dangers of a lightning storm while being outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment while<br />
attending events at Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and Tommy<br />
Davis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert park users<br />
of the potential for lightning before it strikes.<br />
The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems.<br />
These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in the<br />
ground that could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductive<br />
cloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses and<br />
evaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an<br />
actual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of the<br />
dangerous conditions.<br />
The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripe<br />
for lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for a period of 15 seconds alerting users of the<br />
potential for lightning and activating yellow strobes on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activated<br />
throughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal consisting of three five second audible horn<br />
blasts. The systems are operational between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months.<br />

Shanghai, China is located on China’s<br />
central coast, south of the Yangtze<br />
River. Since ancient times, it has been<br />
considered the land of fish and rice<br />
where local chefs have taken advantage<br />
of the area’s rich products to provide a<br />
cuisine with unique flavor, intricacy,<br />
and wonder. How amazing would it be<br />
to participate in such an experience<br />
right here in Greenwood Village?<br />
Instead of booking that international<br />
flight, why not head over to The<br />
Shanghai Kitchen.<br />
Harry and Alice Zhou, who were born<br />
and raised in Shanghai, opened their<br />
unique dining establishment in<br />
February 2000. After visiting friends<br />
in the Denver area during the 1990s,<br />
they were fascinated by the friendly<br />
residents, beautiful landscape, and<br />
clean environment of Greenwood<br />
Village. Harry and Alice say, “The<br />
Village is the best location for our<br />
restaurant and we are committed to<br />
offering authentic, healthy, and<br />
original Shanghai and Sichuan<br />
Chinese dishes to Greenwood Village<br />
residents and the surrounding<br />
community.”<br />
The Shanghai Kitchen is distinguished<br />
because the design and setting of the<br />
restaurant mirrors what is found in the<br />
City of Shanghai, bringing about a<br />
historical atmosphere and preserving<br />
their Chinese culture. Their entrees are<br />
meticulously prepared to create the<br />
finest product with the most original<br />
taste. A few of the many popular<br />
dishes include Shanghai Pork Mini<br />
Dumplings, Spareribs with Pickled<br />
Bamboo Soup, and Duck Seasoned<br />
with Brown Sauce. They have devoted,<br />
long-term customers because they<br />
serve high-quality entrees in a timely<br />
manner combined with the welcoming<br />
ambience of the restaurant and<br />
delightful staff.<br />

Shanghai cuisine has the characteristic flavor of the south<br />
Yangtze River at its core, where river seafood and fresh<br />
vegetables take on a different appearance in each of the<br />
seasons. Bamboo shoots arise in the springtime in their<br />
Salting Bamboo with Ribs Soup. The flavor of wine makes an<br />
entrance in summer in their Stir Fry with Ginger Wine<br />
Sauce. Autumn is the time for crabs and their specialty of<br />
Crab Meat with Rice Cakes. Wintertime brings nourishment<br />

GENERAL INTEREST<br />
CAN WE FIND YOU?<br />
MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS<br />
IS VISIBLE FROM THE STREET<br />
If there is a police, fire, or medical emergency at your home,<br />
can first responders find you fast? Address markers that are<br />
hidden by shrubs or trees, or ones that are non-reflecting or<br />
unlighted are hard to spot, even by trained emergency<br />
personnel. Your house number painted on the curb may<br />
seem like a good idea, until that number is covered with<br />
snow or blocked by a car.<br />
Help us help you! Make sure your address is easily visible. If<br />
you have a long driveway, or a shared drive, make sure there<br />
are markers at the street, on the house, and at forks in the<br />
drive. Large numbers, 3-4 inches high that reflect light are<br />
best. It is also helpful if the numbers are visible from both<br />
directions on your street and visible at night as well as<br />
during the day. You may be wondering with today’s<br />
technology why computers can’t just direct responders right<br />
to the house? Technology is making the job easier but it’s<br />
neither foolproof nor perfect. A well-marked residence or<br />
business is the best way to ensure that when you call 9-1-1,<br />
we can find you!<br />

CELEBRATING POLLINATORS<br />
Join Greenwood Village in celebrating <strong>June</strong> 20-26, <strong>2022</strong>, as<br />
National Pollinator Week for the purpose of encouraging all<br />
to recognize and celebrate the important role pollinators play<br />
in our environment and to work actively to support and<br />
protect pollinators of all kinds in the Village.<br />
Pollinators are insects and animals that transfer pollen from<br />
one plant to another. This pollen transfer leads to plants<br />
being able to produce fruits, vegetables, and nuts.<br />
Pollination, thus, is a crucial method through which humans<br />
and wildlife get their food resources. According to the<br />
National Wildlife Federation, every one in three bites of food<br />
you take comes from a pollinated source. Below are resources<br />
toward protecting and enhancing pollinators and their<br />
habitats.<br />
