THE MAYOR’S message<br />

Town Center Park, which will be located directly in front of the Palazzo Verdi building next to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, is set to<br />

be completed in early 2023.<br />

TOWN CENTER PARK<br />

AT THE VILLAGE<br />

CENTER<br />

I am very pleased to let you know that<br />

construction will soon begin on a longanticipated<br />

new park on the inner circle of the<br />

Village Center, directly in front of the Palazzo<br />

Verdi building adjacent to Fiddler’s Green<br />

Amphitheatre. The new park, which will be<br />

known as Town Center Park, was part of the<br />

original concept for the area that was approved<br />

back in 2009 as a joint project between the<br />

City of Greenwood Village, Greenwood<br />

Consolidated Metropolitan District, and the Fiddler’s<br />

Business Improvement District.<br />

The park will include a large plaza encircled with new<br />

sidewalks and shade trees, ample lounge seating and tables for<br />

the local business community and residents to enjoy. A<br />

pavilion for larger events and gatherings is also included.<br />

Completion of the park is anticipated in early 2023. I look<br />

forward to all of us enjoying this new amenity.<br />

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2023<br />

City Council met on Friday, September 16, for our annual<br />

budget workshop. In the meeting, we discussed the 2023<br />

Annual Operating Budget & Capital Improvement Program<br />

(CIP). Among the many CIP projects we discussed were the<br />

installation of a fiber backbone, safety improvements to<br />

roadways, park trails, Village-owned noise walls, City Hall<br />

renovation, new playground equipment, and other park<br />

improvements.<br />

A public hearing and first reading of the proposed 2023<br />

budget is scheduled for the Monday, <strong>October</strong> 17, Council<br />

meeting. If you would like to know more about Council<br />

discussions, please visit our <strong>web</strong>site for agendas and<br />

recordings. You may also sign up to receive our City Council<br />

Highlights, published on GreenwoodVillage.com following<br />

COLORADO<br />

PLASTIC BAG FEES<br />

In 2021, the Colorado State Legislature passed<br />

legislation requiring customers to pay 10 cents for each<br />

single-use plastic or paper bag taken from a grocery<br />

store or retail shop. The new fee will go into effect<br />

statewide on January 1, 2023. Additionally, the new<br />

law will ban most plastic bags starting in January 2024.<br />

Under the current Greenwood Village Municipal Code<br />

the new state mandated bag fee is taxable. During City<br />

Council’s Monday, September 12 study session,<br />

Council discussed the additional financial burden this<br />

bag fee and subsequent tax would impose on our<br />

residents. While the Village is unable to opt out of the<br />

new state-imposed bag fee, we feel it is in the best<br />

interest of our residents to not impose a city tax on<br />

each bag. On Monday, <strong>October</strong> 3, Council passed an<br />

ordinance to eliminate city tax on the new bag fees.<br />

AUTUMN HILLS<br />

TRAIL COMMUNITY<br />

INPUT MEETING<br />

The Parks, Trails and Recreation<br />

Department would like to invite the<br />

community to collaborate on ideas<br />

and give input to the enhancement of<br />

the Autumn Hills Trail corridor. Please<br />

join us on Wednesday, November 2<br />

from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Greenwood<br />

Village Maintenance Facility, 10001<br />

East Costilla Avenue.<br />

The section of the trail being<br />

redeveloped is the pathway adjacent to<br />

East Prentice Avenue, between South<br />

Boston Street and the Covenant<br />

Presbyterian Church on Yosemite<br />

Street. Originally designed as a dual<br />

track trail for both pedestrian and<br />

equestrian use, the redevelopment<br />

intent is to merge the two trails into a<br />

singular neighborhood walkway to<br />

allow for improved drainage and<br />

landscaping. Additionally, there is a<br />

small amenity space off to the side of<br />

the trail that has the opportunity for<br />

improvement. With the community’s<br />

help, the Village hopes to improve<br />

both the accessibility and aesthetics of<br />

this trail corridor.<br />

If you are unable to attend the<br />

community input meeting, we<br />

encourage you to provide your<br />

thoughts through Greenwood<br />

Village Voices at<br />

SILO PARK GARDEN<br />

COMMUNITY<br />

INPUT MEETING<br />

The Parks, Trails and Recreation<br />

Department is inviting the community<br />

to hear the plans for the raised garden<br />

renovation on Wednesday, <strong>October</strong><br />

19, <strong>2022</strong>, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at<br />

the Silo Park Barn, 9300 South<br />

Orchard Road.<br />

The property that was to become Silo<br />

Park was acquired by the Village in<br />

1994. An involved citizen process<br />

guided the design of the park. One of<br />

the features was a demonstration<br />

garden that originally showcased<br />

primarily native grasses along with<br />

some traditional crops such as wheat,<br />

barley, corn, and pumpkins.<br />

The content of the garden has evolved<br />

through the years, and approximately<br />

10 years ago, the Arapahoe County<br />

CSU Extension Colorado Master<br />

Gardener volunteers took over the<br />

planning, planting, and maintenance<br />

of the gardens. Under their care, the<br />

gardens have become largely dedicated<br />

to produce production. The vegetables<br />

harvested yearly are donated to a local<br />

food pantry in Greenwood Village.<br />

Based upon the feedback received at<br />

the public input meeting held on<br />

September 14, 2021, the function of<br />

the raised gardens will remain the<br />

same. However, improvements will be<br />

made to the raised beds to improve<br />

accessibility, irrigation, functionality<br />

and layout. There will not be a<br />

perimeter fence.<br />

Please join us or visit the City’s<br />

Village Voices <strong>web</strong>site at<br />

greenwoodvillagevoices.com to see<br />

the latest design. For more<br />

ENSURING A SAFE<br />

community<br />

RULES OF THE ROAD:<br />

RESPECTING ‘NO RIGHT<br />

TURN ON RED’ SIGNS<br />

This time of year, more cars are on the road getting back to<br />

school and back into a daily commuting routine. With this<br />

increased traffic and more students walking, biking, riding<br />

school buses and driving to and from our local schools each<br />

day, the City of Greenwood Village encourages you —and<br />

especially your young drivers — to be mindful of the various<br />

“No Turn On Red” signage at intersections throughout our<br />

city whenever you get on the road.<br />

Keeping pedestrians safe is of utmost important to<br />

Greenwood Village Police Department. In <strong>2022</strong>, <strong>GV</strong>PD has<br />

issued 225 citations for drivers failing to stop at a red light<br />

and 19 citations for drivers failing to stop before making a<br />

right turn at a red light. Greenwood Village has several<br />

intersections where right turns are red are restricted, with<br />

many adjacent to or near our school zones, making it<br />

especially important to stay vigilant and follow the law to<br />

keep pedestrians and yourself safe.<br />

TURNING RIGHT ON RED RULES<br />

Per Colorado law, vehicular traffic must come to a complete<br />

stop and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within<br />

a crosswalk or an adjacent crosswalk, and to other traffic<br />

lawfully using the intersection before making a right turn at a<br />

red light. If the intersection is marked with signage or signals<br />

indicating right turns can’t be made at a red light, then<br />

vehicles must remain stopped until they receive a green light<br />

or arrow.<br />

WHERE IS TURNING RIGHT<br />

ON RED RESTRICTED?<br />

Greenwood Village has two types of signs for turning vehicles<br />

at intersections. The first is the simple “No Turn On Red,”<br />

where a turn on red is prohibited. The second type of sign<br />

states “No Turn On Red When Pedestrians Are Present.” As<br />

long as there are no signs indicating the right turn is<br />

prohibited, drivers are clear to turn right on red after making<br />

a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.<br />

One of these two signs are located at several intersections:<br />

• Northbound at Yosemite Street and Belleview Avenue<br />

• Westbound to northbound at Yosemite Street and Caley<br />

Avenue<br />

• Westbound to I-25 southbound on-ramp at Orchard<br />

At the four-way intersection of E. Union Ave. and S. Yosemite<br />

St., adjacent to the Cherry Creek campus, drivers may not turn<br />

red when pedestrians are present in the crosswalk.<br />

Road and I-25 interchange<br />

• I-25 southbound off-ramp to westbound at Orchard Road<br />

and I-25 interchange<br />

• Union Avenue and Yosemite Street (all directions)<br />

• Belleview Avenue and Dayton Street (all directions)<br />

Additionally, some locations around the city have signs that<br />

designate time of day turn restrictions as well. For example,<br />

you’ll see a sign indicating that right turns on red are<br />

prohibited from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily<br />

when heading northbound at Yosemite Street and Arapahoe<br />

Road. You will also find similar time-bound restrictions on<br />

Orchard Road west of Quebec Street.<br />

Finally, please also be<br />

mindful of “Turning<br />

Vehicles Must Yield to<br />

Pedestrians” signage, which<br />

can be found:<br />

• Eastbound at Union<br />

Avenue and Dayton<br />

Street<br />

• Southbound to<br />

eastbound at Arapahoe<br />

Road and Greenwood<br />

continues to be a high priority. To assist with these efforts, we<br />

ask that you do not place loose leaves or yard debris in the<br />

street as our sweepers are not equipped to pick them up.<br />

Moreover, this debris can be windblown or washed into the<br />

storm systems and waterways of the Village. Instead, consider<br />

these disposal options:<br />

• Arrange for your lawn care provider to remove the leaves<br />

when performing your yard service.<br />

• Bag your leaves in compostable paper yard waste bags and<br />

place them out with your weekly trash pick up. These<br />

bags of leaves will end up in the landfill and paper is<br />

preferred over plastic, which never breaks down and is bad<br />

for the environment.<br />

• Waste Connections has no limit as to how many bags of<br />

leaves they will pick up, however, keep in mind if some<br />

bags are not picked up, they will return once they have<br />

unloaded their truck.<br />

• Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace,<br />

5910 South University Boulevard, has partnered with the<br />

City of Greenwood Village to provide residents with one<br />

FREE 5-pack of compostable paper yard waste<br />

bags with the coupon provided. One per<br />

household please; coupon must be presented<br />

and no photocopied coupons will be accepted.<br />

• Recycle your leaves at Village Greens Park.<br />

Leaves can be dropped off loose or in bags any<br />

day of the week between <strong>October</strong> 10 and<br />

December 2, <strong>2022</strong>, in the dedicated area of<br />

the north parking lot. This is an environmentally<br />

friendly option with staff spreading and<br />

disking the material into the soil where native<br />

grass cannot be established, adding nutrients,<br />

helping with moisture retention, and provides<br />

a place for soil-borne microorganisms to live.<br />

It does not impact the landfill and it is cost<br />

effective. No bags are required, and you do not<br />

have to wait until your trash day to dispose of<br />

them.<br />

For more information, please contact Parks,<br />

Trails, and Recreation at 303-486-5773. <strong>GV</strong> OCTOBER <strong>2022</strong> | <strong>GV</strong> NEWSLETTER PG. 15<br />

WHY SHOULDN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />

As the seasons change and the leaves begin to fall, it’s tempting to<br />

rake the leaves and other yard debris into the street. Unfortunately,<br />

the street sweeping equipment is not able to handle limbs,<br />

branches or large quantities of leaves and grass; much of the<br />

material is left behind by the sweeper and unintentionally spread<br />

across the street. Leaves and grass are natural but when it rains,<br />

these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm<br />

drains and lead to Village waterways such as streams and ponds.<br />

These organic material decay overtime and over-fertilize the water.<br />

The excess nutrients from this debris encourages harmful aquatic<br />

plants and algae to thrive, which has a lasting negative impact on<br />

water quality, local ecology, and recreational use of our waterways.<br />

This is a form of stormwater pollution that is preventable with care<br />

and proper action. Please do your part and do not sweep lawn<br />

debris into the street. Instead, take advantage of the coupon for<br />

yard waste bags provided in this article!

Are you or someone you know looking for a non-invasive,<br />

non-pharmaceutical approach to improved brain health?<br />

Then the experts at Braincare Performance Center – Denver<br />

Tech Center (DTC) may be able to help. The technology and<br />

techniques employed at Braincare Performance Center can<br />

help improve brain health and may be beneficial to anyone<br />

looking to reduce stress and anxiety, sharpen their focus, or<br />

rehabilitate from an injury.<br />

Braincare Performance Center – DTC was opened by Sean<br />

Haberberger, a former Navy SEAL, while exploring<br />

entrepreneurship opportunities and ways to continue to serve<br />

his community. During his time as a SEAL, his brain and<br />

body had been conditioned to perform at optimal levels<br />

while continuously being subjected to high stress. While<br />

searching for alternatives in health to help recalibrate his<br />

brain and body, Sean discovered Magnetic e-Resonance<br />

Therapy (MeRT) when in fall 2019, a friend introduced him<br />

to the San Diego MeRT Clinic. At that time, Sean was a<br />

novice to MeRT, but quickly noticed improved sleep<br />

patterns, sharpened mental clarity, and his emotional ups and<br />

downs stabilized. His success with the technology made him<br />

want to help others by spreading awareness and eventually<br />

opening an MeRT location in Colorado.<br />

Originally opened under the name Peak Neuro Performance<br />

in the Spring of 2021, Sean chose Greenwood Village for the<br />

Center in order to be near other businesses that offer high<br />

end services. Greenwood Village provided an accessible part<br />

of town that was reputable and established with plenty of<br />

At the Center, you will find experts at delivering personal,<br />

precision-guided care to improve brain health through<br />

MeRT. This alternative solution to brain health allows<br />

Haberberger’s team to serve a variety of demographics,<br />

including but not limited to, individuals experiencing Major<br />

Depressive Disorder/Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorder, Long-COVID Brain Fog,<br />

traumatic brain injury, cognitive enhancement/performance,<br />

and sleep disorders. While most traditional mental health or<br />

brain and behavioral health practices focus on balancing the<br />

brain through pharmaceuticals and chemical-based solutions,<br />

MeRT works to balance the brain electrically through gentle<br />

magnetic stimulation. By mapping your brainwave activity,<br />

their progressive technology highlights patterns and areas of<br />

the brain that need attention or support, allowing the team<br />

to deliver a customized individual-based protocol.<br />

To begin your patient journey, you’ll start with a quantitative<br />

electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain scan to allow the staff to<br />

see how your brain is functioning and better understand how<br />

they can help. Next, you will meet with a Braincare<br />

Performance Center – DTC physician to review the qEEG<br />

and discuss your health history to determine if the MeRT<br />

Brain Treatment Program would be successful. The next steps<br />

are designed and customized based on the individual brain<br />

health needs of the client. The cost for the initial qEEG scan<br />

is $325 and the Initial Medical Evaluation is an additional<br />

$325, making your initial investment in the MeRT Brain<br />

Treatment Program $650. If you set up an appointment<br />

and visit before Dec. 31, <strong>2022</strong>, you can get the qEEG scan<br />

for $99 by mentioning this article. Sean and the team at<br />

Braincare Performance Center – DTC look forward to<br />

helping improve your brain health! <strong>GV</strong><br />
