The Greenwood Village Police Department wants citizens to be prepared with critical information to know if you ever find yourself in a tryingsituation that puts you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Knowing proper procedures to follow will be vital to surviving any dangeroussituation or confrontation.

BULLYING Bullying is unwanted, aggressivebehavior among school-aged childrenthat involves actions such as makingthreats, spreading rumors, attackingsomeone physically or verbally, andexcluding someone from a group onpurpose.

TRAIL USERS: WATCH OUT FOR DOGS

Runners, walkers, bicyclists, and equestrians enjoy the 41 miles oftrails in Greenwood Village. The Village encourages awareness of trailusers about dogs they may encounter. Although most encounters withdogs are harmless, being aware and respectful of all trail users willresult in a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone. Pet ownersmust follow the Village leash law requiring all dogs to be secured witha pet leash in all public areas.

The following is a list of suggestions trail users should consider whenapproaching dogs on trails:

• Give your full attention to the trail or roadway. Be aware at alltimes of other trail users walking or running with their dogs infront and back of you.

• Never run up to a dog or run away from a dog.• Don’t make eye contact with the dog. Some dogs see staring as a

threat. • If the dog approaches you, stop and stand very still. Don’t yell or

make any sudden movements. In a firm, but calm voice, say, “Gohome,” “Sit” or “No.”

• If the dog tries to jump on you, turn to the side and push it offwith your forearm.

• If you keep encountering the same aggressive dog, find a newroute and report to Animal Control at 303-773-2525.

• Always ride to the right and single file. When passing other bikersor pedestrians, let them know your position by shouting somethinglike, “On your left!”

• When approaching a dog and its master on a trail, yell ahead andalert them to your presence.

• Ride or run at a far distance from the dog when passing. • Be careful when passing to avoid getting tangled with the dog’s

retractable leash. • Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close to the

brakes.• Dogs can be very territorial and their prey instinct is triggered by

fast movement, so runners and bicyclists can catch their attention.Even when a dog seems friendly, if the owner isn’t around, it’s bestnot to approach it.

For more information, please call the Parks, Trails, and RecreationDepartment at 303-486-5773.

PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG • Bring pet waste bags with you when you walk or run. • Dog owners, please dispose of pet waste in the trash

receptacles provided at all Village parks and along trails. Bicyclists should always stop and look both ways beforecrossing the street from a trail.

When approaching from behind, yell ahead to alert the dogowner and the dog of your presence.

Always ride to the right and be careful not to get tangledwith the dog's leash.

TRAFFIC SAFETY AROUND OUR SCHOOLS DRIVERS CAUTIONED TO SLOW DOWNAND OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS The Greenwood Village Police Department would like toremind drivers of some safe traffic regulations around ourschools:1) Pay attention to the Flashing Yellow Light. Flashing

Yellow Light School Zone areas indicate that traffic mustslow down from the beginning of the lights until the nextspeed limit sign or signage that indicates the school zonehas ended. School Zone times vary, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to be aware and drive according to theposted signs and lights.

2) Fines are doubled in a school zone. 3) Stop for school buses. Colorado law dictates a driver of a

vehicle, upon meeting from either direction any schoolbus which has stopped and has activated its red flashinglights, is required to stop the vehicle. Drivers do not needto stop for a school bus upon meeting or passing a schoolbus which is on a different roadway. School bus drivers areauthorized to report violators to the appropriate lawenforcement agency who may issue a citation on the basisof the information provided.

4) Remember that the sun can obscure your vision anytime of the year. Use visors and sunglasses to reduce glareand make it easier to see pedestrians.

5) Pedestrians once in a crosswalk have the right of way. Ifyou maintain a safe speed for conditions and foot trafficyou should have plenty of time to slow down and stopsafely.

6) When the traffic lights turn yellow it is the time to slowdown and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat thelights as they are timed based on the speed limits andtraffic. When you rush one light you often just getstopped at the next one.

7) Be patient, be aware. Many people are not in thesehurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of peopleand traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a greenlight.

8) Right on Red. Where allowed and not all intersections areclear for right on red, the car at the red light does nothave the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or goingwith the flow of traffic always have the right of way. Againbe aware, don’t force a turn and hurt yourselves orsomeone else.

For more information about traffic safety, please call theGreenwood Village Police Department at 303-773-2525. GGVV

ARTS AND HUMANITIESCOUNCIL FUNDS RE-INSTALLATION OF BRONZEDOLPHIN SCULPTURES INWESTLANDS PARK POND The Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council(GVAHC) partnered with the Museum of Outdoor Arts(MOA) to reinstall the bronze dolphin sculptures at the pondat Westlands Park. After being removed for restoration, thedolphin sculptures will be reinstalled in the middle pond inWestlands Park in September.

The dolphin sculptures were selected and acquired fromGalleria Romanelli in Florence, Italy in 1980 by GreenwoodPlaza developer John Madden. The bronze sculptures werecreated by the Italian sculptor Giovanni Antonazzi andrepresent the concept of “family.” After the Maddens donatedthe artwork to the MOA in 1989, they were installed in themiddle pond at Westlands Park. In 2009, the MOA removedthe dolphin sculpture for restoration which was completed in2011.

Due to the ownership of the ponds being transferred to theVillage as part of a land conveyance from the GreenwoodMetropolitan District earlier this year, the MOA requested

permission from the Village to reinstall the sculptures. Anagreement was made between the GVAHC and the MOA ofwhich the GVAHC agreed to fund $7,000 toward the re-installation costs and the MOA fund any additionalinstallation costs and future maintenance and insurance forthe sculptures.

PHASE I OF NEW MAINTENANCEFACILITY TO BEGIN IN 2013 In August, the City Council gave preliminary approval of the2013-2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) whichincluded final design for modifications to the MaintenanceFacility to house Public Works services. Funding for finaldesign of the Maintenance Facility modifications, included inthe 2013-2018 CIP, will be officially approved as part of theCouncil’s approval of the 2013 Budget in November.

“The City Council feels it is the appropriate time, givencurrent economic conditions and the current level andstability of our city reserves, to move forward with finaldesign of the Maintenance Facility modifications,” saidMayor Ron Rakowsky.

The current Village Maintenance Facility was built in 1994to house park and street maintenance services which included37 regular employees, 19 seasonal workers, and maintenanceof 150 vehicles for all Village operations. Due to the increasein the levels of service and investment in infrastructure by theVillage starting in 1994 and continuing into the late 1990s,today the maintenance facility is home-base for all PublicWorks operations, including Engineering that was relocatedfrom City Hall. These Public Works operations areresponsible for 220 lane miles of roadways, 193 acres ofdeveloped parks, 43 miles of trails, 1.5 acres of floral beds,drainage systems, 254 acres of open space, and 53 acres ofstreetscape and medians. Current service levels require workby 87 employees, 12 seasonal workers, and maintenance of251 vehicles for Village operations, including the PoliceDepartment.

The proposed Maintenance Facility modifications will occurto the existing building and site at 10001 East CostillaAvenue, as well as on the adjacent property at 6810 EmporiaStreet, which the Village purchased in 2009. Major areas tobe addressed as a part of the redesign will include parking,office space, site circulation, and equipment storage toprotect the Village’s fleet investment.

“For several years, we have had deficiencies in office spaceand with parking spaces for our employees and customers, toname a few. Modifications to the maintenance facility willcreate a more productive and efficient work environment andreflect the proper image of the Village with our customers,”added City Manager Jim Sanderson.

Since fall 2011, Village staff has worked to develop aconceptual design for improvements to the existingmaintenance facility and the adjacent property on EmporiaStreet. In addition to Public Works services, themodifications will also address storage facility needs for thePolice and Parks, Trails, and Recreation departments. Thiswill include renovations at the City Hall location.

The final design is estimated to cost $1,250,000 and isscheduled to begin in 2013. Construction of themodifications will occur in three phases, with Phase Iplanned to begin in 2014. Phase I improvements will occurprimarily on the Emporia Site with construction of a newfleet services building to maintain the Village’s fleet ofvehicles. Portions of the existing building will be preserved tomeet operational needs. Phase I will also include new de-icerstorage, canopy, fuel island modification and cold storage.The cost for Phase I is estimated at $7,250,000. For the pastseveral years City Council has been increasing cash reserves inanticipation of completing modifications to the maintenancefacility. Funding for final design and Phase I will be paid forby the Village out of the Village’s cash reserves. Funding forthe remaining phases has yet to be determined and willrequire City Council approval in the future. The entireproject is estimated to cost $16,000,000.

“We pride ourselves in assuring the Village’s public areas aresafe, useable, clean, and they promote a beautifulappearance,” said John Sheldon, Director of Public Works.“The modifications to the maintenance facility will help us tocontinue to deliver the highest quality of services to ourresidents and businesses long into the future.”

OUR NATURALenvironmentBEAR SAFETY TIPS IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BEAR ON A TRAIL • Stand still, stay calm and let the

bear identify you and leave. Talk ina normal tone of voice. Be sure thebear has an escape route.

• Never run or climb a tree. • If you see cubs, their mother is

usually close by. Leave the areaimmediately.

• In late summer and fall, bears needto forage up to 20 hours a day, soavoid trails that go through berrypatches, oak brush and othernatural food sources.

IF THE BEAR DOESN’T LEAVE • A bear standing up is just trying to

identify what you are by getting abetter look and smell. Wave yourarms slowly overhead and talkcalmly. If the bear huffs, pops itsjaws or stomps a paw, it wants youto give it space.

• Step off the trail to the downhillside, keep looking at the bear andslowly back away until the bear isout of sight.

IF THE BEARAPPROACHES • A bear knowingly approaching a

person could be a food-conditionedbear looking for a handout or, veryrarely, an aggressive bear. Standyour ground. Yell or throw smallrocks in the direction of the bear.

• If you’re attacked, don’t play dead.Fight back with anything available.People have successfully defendedthemselves with pen knives,trekking poles, and even barehands. GGVV

BEAR FACTS • Color: In Colorado, many black

bears are blonde, cinnamon, andbrown.

• Weight: Males average 275 lbs;Females 175 lbs.

• Diet: Grasses, berries, fruits, nuts,plants, insects and scavengedcarcasses. Bears need 20,000calories a day to gain enough fat tosurvive the winter without eating ordrinking.

• Active: Mid-March through earlyNovember. Naturally nocturnal, butsometimes travel at night in hopesof avoiding humans.

SMOKE ALARM SAFETY TIPSSmoke alarms save lives. Almost two-thirds of home firedeaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms orno working smoke alarms. When there is a fire, smoke spreadsfast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each

separate sleeping area and on every level of the home,including the basement.

• An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive toflaming fires, and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generallymore responsive to smoldering fires. For the bestprotection, both alarms (photoelectric and ionization)should be installed in homes.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. • Smoke rises; install smoke alarms following manufacturer’s

instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling. • Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year.

If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replacethe battery right away.

• Alarms that are hard-wired (and include battery backup)must be installed by a qualified electrician.

• If cooking fumes or steam set off nuisance alarms, replace

the alarm with an alarm that has a “hush” button. A“hush” button will reduce the alarm’s sensitivity for a shortperiod of time.

• An ionization alarm with a hush button or a photoelectricalarm should be used if the alarm is within 20 feet of acooking appliance.

• Smoke alarms that include a recordable voiceannouncement in addition to the usual alarm sound, maybe helpful in waking children through the use of a familiarvoice.

• Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf orhard of hearing. These devices use strobe lights. Vibrationdevices can be added to these alarms. GGVV

YOUR SMOKE ALARM HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE

Most smoke alarms are only designed to last between eight and10 years. After this time, the entire unit should be replaced.

Tip: Write the date of purchase with a marker on the inside ofyour alarm so you will know when to replace it.

MOUNTAIN LIONSAFETY There are many species of wildlifewhich live in the open space areas,parks trails and undeveloped areas ofGreenwood Village.

Most of the time people and wildlifecan coexist without any problems. Thekey to avoiding conflict with wildlife isto remember wildlife is wild.

Occasionally we may have a mountainlion travel through the Village. Certainconditions such as drought or heatmay cause these cats to extend theirhunting range in search of their prey,which is deer. Mountain lions are mostactive from dusk to dawn.

Mountain lions are generally calm anddo not like to be around people. Lionattacks on people are quite rare. Mostof the attacks are by young lions thatare forced out on their own and donot yet have an established area.Younger lions are more likely to focuson easier prey such as pets.

PREVENT AN ENCOUNTERAT YOUR HOME • Don’t Feed Wildlife — By feeding

deer, raccoons, or other wildlife inyour yard, you will inadvertentlyattract mountain lions, which preyupon them.

• Deer Proof Your Landscape —Avoid using plants that deer preferto eat; if your landscaping attractsdeer, mountain lions may be closeby.

• Landscape for Safety — Removedense and/or low-lying vegetationthat would provide good hidingplaces for mountain lions, especiallyaround children’s play areas.

• Install Outdoor Lighting — Keepthe perimeter of your house well litat night to keep any mountain lionsvisible.

• Keep Pets Secure — Roaming petsare easy prey for hungry mountainlions. Either bring pets inside orkeep them in a kennel with a secure

top. Don’t feed pets outside; thiscan attract raccoons and othermountain lion prey.

• Keep Children Safe — Keep aclose watch on children wheneverthey play outdoors. Make surechildren are inside before dusk andnot outside before dawn. Talk withchildren about mountain lions andteach them what to do if theyencounter one.

• The key to avoiding wildlifeencounters is keeping unwantedwildlife out of your home and yard.

IF YOU ENCOUNTER A MOUNTAIN LION • You want the lion to realize you are

not prey and make it feel it is indanger.

• Do Not Run From A Lion —Running may stimulate a mountainlion’s instinct to chase. Instead,stand and face the animal. Makeeye contact. Stay calm, talk firmlyto it and move slowly back, do notrun and/or turn your back to themountain lion. If you have smallchildren with you, pick them up ifpossible so they do not panic and

run. Although it may be awkward,pick them up without bending overor turning away from the mountainlion. Walk back slowly.

• Do Not Approach a Lion — Mostmountain lions will try to avoid aconfrontation. Give them a way toescape.

• Do All You Can To Appear Larger— Raise your arms, open yourjacket, throw stones and branches,or whatever you can reach withoutcrouching or turning your back.Wave your arms slowly and speakfirmly in a loud voice. The idea isto convince the mountain lion youmay be a danger to it. Do notcrouch down or bend over.

• Fight Back If Attacked — Fightback with rocks, sticks, caps,jackets, garden tools, and yourhands. Since a mountain lionusually bites the head or neck, tryto remain standing and face theattacking animal.
