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 />

For more information, please call Dustin Huff, Parks Manager, at 303-708-6155.<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 />
