GREENWOOD VILLAGE
HOSTS METRO MAYORS
CAUCUS 2014
On Saturday, January 11, Greenwood Village hosted the
Annual Retreat of the Metro Mayors Caucus. Founded in
1993, the Caucus is a nationally recognized voluntary and
collaborative membership organization for Mayors in the
Denver region. The
Caucus is a unique
forum that fosters
personal relationships
and uses dialogue to
identify common
purposes, challenges
and solutions that
benefit both the region
and member
municipalities. Its 41 Mayor Michael Hancock, Denver;
municipal members
Mayor Rakowsky, and Mayor Doug

the meeting included transportation funding, the role of
diverse housing stock in community building efforts,
homelessness and water. Our former Mayor and current
Arapahoe County Commissioner Mayor Nancy Sharpe
served as the Chair of the Caucus in 2009.
SPECIAL DISTRICTS
CONTRIBUTE TO
QUALITY OF LIFE
In January, I was privileged to participate in Greenwood
Metropolitan District Board’s recognition of Chairman Jim
Sullivan’s 86th Birthday. Chairman Sullivan, a former
Douglas County Commissioner and State Representative, has
been associated with the development of the Greenwood
Plaza office park in the Village since its inception some 40
years ago.
Mayor Ron Rakowsky with Al Nemecek, Hank Vanderryst, Don
Seicke, Peter Clushaw, J Madden, Ray Bullock, Peter Italiano
and Paul Lotito.
In Greenwood Village, many types of special districts share
the Village’s task of enhancing quality of life for citizens.

infrastructure, parks, landscaping, and other quality of life
improvements and services people enjoy every day. The
mundane work of maintaining streets, highways, street lights,
medians, traffic signals, landscaping, storm drainage, and
sidewalks are shared between Greenwood Village and the
special districts. The Village and the special districts work
closely together in implementing and maintaining the
infrastructure. The special districts of the Village include the
Goldsmith Metropolitan District (Denver Technological
Center), Greenwood Metropolitan District and Greenwood
South Metropolitan District (Greenwood Plaza) have
constructed more than $40 million of streets, traffic signals,
street lighting, storm drainage, parks, landscaping, sidewalks,
bikeways, and other facilities since the 1970s.
Metropolitan districts are a type of special district that can be
established by any group of property owners who coordinate
to tax themselves in order to pay for several different services.
The creation of metropolitan districts are endorsed and/or
initiated by homeowners, the business community, and
developers. For example, a developer buys land for an office
park and forms a metropolitan district to fund and maintain
the streets, parks, and other services supporting the
development. The homeowners, landowners and developers
who benefit from the services pay an additional property tax
to fund the services. Other special districts include water and
sanitation districts.
SPRING CLEANING?
USE LARGE ITEM PICK UP
Although the temperatures
still feel like winter, Spring
will be here before we know
it and it’s time to start
planning for that spring
cleanup. Warmer
temperatures are a great time
to clean out the garage, and
discard those items in the
house that no longer serve a purpose or may be collecting
some of that unwanted dust. For your convenience, you can
use the Village’s Large Item Pickup Service. The most
popular items requested for a large item pickup would be
branches or brush removed by the homeowner and cut into
sections 10 foot in length or less, unwanted furniture,
mattresses and box springs, hot water heaters and rugs.
To allow for Village staff to provide residents with the best
possible service in the most cost effective manner and
without extensive delays, the following items are not accepted
for large item pickup: commercial or contractor generated
waste; concrete and asphalt; roofing and siding; fences and
decks; drywall and framing; landscaping materials —
PG. 4
including sod, soil, mulch, bark, rock and pavers; tree
branches greater than 10 feet in length and done by a
contracted service; items generated from projects requiring a
building permit — excluding plumbing, mechanical and
electrical; hazardous materials and tires. All large items
designated for pickup must be scheduled with the Public
Works Department at 303-708-6100 before placing at the
curb. Happy Spring cleaning!
DENVER INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT
In case you haven’t been to Denver International Airport
lately, there’s a lot more going on than just arrivals and
departures. It’s an exciting time at the airport these days and I
thought I would update you on all the new amenities that
you should check out the next time you fly. All the
improvements being planned will contribute to the economic
success of the entire Denver region including Greenwood
Village.
The airport is making significant progress on its Hotel and
Transit Center Program, which will add a 519-room Westin
hotel and a train platform that will connect DIA to Union
Station in downtown Denver. The project is now more than
halfway complete, having celebrated its midpoint of
construction in October 2013. The hotel is on track to open
in 2015, with commuter rail service beginning in 2016.
During the building phase, the program will employ 600 to
700 people. When the rail service begins, travelers will be
able to ride the train from downtown to DIA in about 30
minutes. The I-225 light rail line, beginning at our own
Dayton station, will connect with the commuter rail line at
the Peoria station.
There are other construction projects underway as well,
including a $46 million project that will add five new gates
to the C Concourse. Work on that project is expected to be
completed in November, and will add 39,000 square feet of

space that is airy, light-filled and features innovative new
dining options for customers. At the end of this year, the new
gates will be numbered C23 though C27.
The study was based on the percentage of airport restaurants
that offer at least one high-fiber, plant-based entrée such as
green salads, veggie wraps or black bean burgers. DIA topped
the list with 86 percent. It’s the first time the airport has
made the top spot since 2003. Recent additions such as Udi’s
Café, Jamba Juice and the local favorite Root Down have
helped increase the offerings of organic, gluten-free and other
healthy choices. GV
The airport is also continuing to add new shops and
restaurants to make the traveling experience even better. Last
year, the airport opened Root Down, Elway’s Steakhouse and
a whole lot more. This year, the airport will open a new pet
care facility, additional Tattered Cover book stores, and
Denver hot dog vendor, Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs, among others.
When it comes to food, the airport also was recently
recognized as having the most healthful dining options
among all large airports in the country. According to the
nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,
DIA moved from the No. 9 spot in 2012 to No. 1 this year.

MAKING A
INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS
COMPLETED TO VILLAGE’S
ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SYSTEM ACHIEVES REDUCED DELAYS
AND IMPROVES TRAFFIC FLOW
FOR MOTORISTS
The Village uses an Advanced Transportation Management
System (ATMS), in addition to traffic enforcement and
education, to solve traffic issues generated from the 45,000+
motorists traveling in the Village every day. All three phases
of improvements to the Village’s ATMs are complete. As a
result of the implementation of the ATMS, the Village
achieved up to 35% reduction in delays at intersections,
annual $25,000 energy reductions through LED indications,
improved response times through real time monitoring and
observation, and remote system control of intersections
which allows staff to facilitate improved flow of traffic during
special events (e.g. Concerts at Fiddler’s Green
Amphitheatre).
The ATMS allows the Village to use advanced technology to
collect real-time traffic information from various sources such
as traffic signals and traffic cameras to service traffic
demands. This is done by the Village continuously
monitoring and operating the Village’s 47 traffic signals in
real time to meet current traffic conditions or plan for special

Through real-time traffic cameras the Village can detect
problems with traffic and make adjustments immediately.
events (snowstorms, concerts, construction) in Greenwood
Village.
The ATMS project was implemented in three phases, starting
in 2009 and completed in 2013. Funding of $2,185.000 was
approved by the City Council as part of the Village’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) over a five year period, from
2009-2013.
PHASE I
All Intersections Upgraded
In 2009 and 2010, all intersections were upgraded to fully
actuated operations which allow all intersections to have the
ability to operate on vehicle demand, especially during low
volume and off-peak periods. Prior to the installation of the
vehicle actuation system, some intersections worked on pretimed patterns that could not respond to changes in traffic
volumes. This was burdensome to motorists traveling the side
streets on weekends and evenings who would have to wait
several seconds before the traffic lights would change. Also,
fully actuated operations allow the Village to collect traffic
count data at the signalized intersections with the system
improvements added in Phase Two. The Village can
periodically compare traffic volume trends to determine if
signal timing needs to be modified.
In addition, safety components were initiated as a part of
Phase One including conversion of all traffic signal and
pedestrian incandescent indications to light emitting diodes
GOVERNMENT
(LEDs). The LED indications are brighter, which help with
sun glare issues and provide clearer indications during full
sun conditions. Countdown pedestrian indications were also
installed which provides more information to pedestrians
about how much time they have to cross a street. Lastly,
battery back-up units were installed at signalized
intersections. The battery back-up units provide safer
operations during power failures and can decrease delays by
maintaining the levels of safety and accessibility of the signal
system during power outages. An additional advantage is the
power efficiencies of LED technology, saving the Village
approximately $25,000 per year through reduced electrical
consumption.

To compare the differences, the timing currently programmed
throughout the day was analyzed using volumes collected from
the signal system. The table shows the improvements of having
fully actuated detection. The total intersection delay was
determined through modeling of the before and after conditions.
This is the average delay for all vehicles passing through the
intersection for the defined time period.
PHASE II
All Intersections Connected To A Central System
Phase II of the implementation of the ATMS was completed
in 2012. The improvements included connecting the entire
signal system to a central system that can provide improved
coordination between signals and keep groups of signals
operating efficiently together.
Through components in the cabinet at the intersection and
the central signal system software at the Public Works
Facility, Village staff is alerted when traffic signals go into
flash mode or the detection system is not operating correctly.
Reports are generated with specific details of how the signal
system is operating which allows for a quicker response to
signal timing concerns as timing can be changed from the
office.
Also included in Phase II is improved observation of the
signal system. Additional video observation cameras were
installed to allow the Village to modify the signal timing

control strategies to adapt the signal timing to changing
traffic patterns. The Village’s signal system can operate on
its own with minimal input from Village staff. Utilizing
system detectors and once the proper timing plans have
been developed, the signal system will be able to
appropriately select the proper timing plans based on the
traffic data it is receiving in real-time.
The original goals of traffic signal system upgrades were
completed under budget. In December 2013, staff presented
additional system enhancements to the City Council that
included a travel time monitoring system, remote weather
information stations, and additional protected left turn
movement installations. These additional system
enhancements, anticipated to be completed in 2014, will
continue to ensure the transportation system in Greenwood
Village is moving efficiently and safely under the various
traffic patterns experienced on a daily basis.
For more information on ATMS or questions about the
Village’s traffic signal system, please call Jeremy Hanak,
Public Works Manager, at 303-708-6175. GV
This is an example of the information available to traffic staff to assist in the management of the traffic signal system.

New Commercial Property Search Tool
Greenwood Village has partnered with The Colorado Office of
Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) to
offer an online commercial property search tool, InSite. This
allows users to search for sale or for lease office and retail
buildings in the Village. The user can also customize the
search based on size and location. Once a property is
selected, various demographic data around the property is
available, as well as information about the geographic area,
such as school districts, House and Senate Districts, and
Higher Education facilities. This is important for our continued
economic development efforts as it makes commercial
property information easily accessible for businesses, real
estate brokers, and site selectors. That, in turn, helps to
attract more businesses to the Village when they see the high
quality commercial space we have, as well as keep existing
businesses here who may need to expand by showing them what is available just down the road from their current location.
In addition, InSite can be used to research existing companies or businesses in the Village, based on criteria like the type of business or how
many employees it has.
The InSite Commerial Property Search can be found by selecting the Business tab at the top of the screen, then select “Commercial Property
Search” under the Economic Development menu.

CONNECTIONS
As we look forward to an exciting
2014, with hopes that New Year’s
resolutions have not yet fallen by the
wayside, the DTC|Greenwood Village
Chamber is proud to provide the
Chamber’s Top 10 milestones from
2013 and how they roll into the New
Year:
No. 10: Health Reform Series and
Business Impact Planning. In
partnership with new Chamber
member Kaiser Permanente, the
Chamber organized the first in what is
planned to be a full series of
educational seminars aimed at helping
businesses optimize their assets and
learn best practices. The inaugural
session in December unraveled the
mysteries of the new Affordable Care
Act and its impact on small
businesses, as well as financial
planning. More topics are to follow.
No. 9: Film Festival Flix Series at
The Landmark. The
DTC|Greenwood Village Chamber
partnered with Film Festival Flix to
enjoy screenings at The Landmark
Theaters of independent films that
deserve a wider audience. The
screenings provided audience
update
members the opportunity to enjoy a
“red carpet” experience and meet
filmmakers up close and personal.
With the access to great new films
that Film Festival Flix has, this
exciting series will continue in 2014.
No. 8: The Town Hall Lunch Series.
This series of luncheons at Del Frisco’s
Double-Eagle Steakhouse featured
topical speakers straight from the
headlines such as Arapahoe County
DA George Brauchler, U.S.
Congressman Mike Coffman and
others. These small, intimate
luncheons provided unprecedented
access for attendees to comment and
ask questions of the VIPs in a
conversational setting. Watch for
more great speakers in 2014.
No. 7: The DTC | Greenwood Village
Chamber Golf Tournament. Held at
the beautiful Inverness Golf Club on a
perfect Colorado summer day, this
tournament brought together a diverse
group of businesses for a fun day of
golf. All the while supporting the
Chamber and one of its nonprofit
partners, Kids In Need of Dentistry. A
textbook “win-win” for all involved.

IRON TRIBE FITNESS ‘STRONGER TOGETHER’
The Orchards Shopping Center • 5996 South Holly Street
303-731-5267 • www.greenwoodvillage.irontribe101.com
Have you ever had the need to run through a crowded airport
to catch a connecting flight, perform yard work or move
heavy furniture? What about having to load and unload
groceries in and out of your car and home, climb a flight or
two of stairs, do laundry, or wrestle non-stop with the kids or
grand-kids in the backyard? Even if you’ve never competed in
a single sporting activity, Iron Tribe Fitness will change the
way you become fit for these activities and so much more!
Iron Tribe Greenwood Village offers you an exclusive fitness
and diet experience under the guidance of their coaches.
“We’re more than just a gym; we’re a tribe of athletes!”
exclaimed Daniel Threadgill, partner and manager at Iron
Tribe Greenwood Village that opened in September 2013. By
capping the gym membership at 300 members, Iron Tribe
can offer the best service and create the tight knit exclusive
nature of the gym. Iron Tribe training specializes in high
intensity group workouts designed to improve endurance,
power and agility in a fun, competitive group environment.
“Our workouts constantly change and push you to the best
of your ability,” said Daniel, who emphasizes “that is how a
Tribe member’s fitness level improves.”
The Greenwood Village community has an active and vibrant
lifestyle that is very compatible with the Iron Tribe vision.
The program maintains the most extensive physical and
mental adaptations possible, to appeal to the Village
community of stay-at-home moms, kids, business owners,
athletes, and everyone in-between. Daniel guarantees the
community will obtain the same quality of conditioning that
athletes desire at Iron Tribe. “We train your body to adapt to
new demands, promote correct posture and movement,
PG. 16
rehabilitate injury, and develop broad and inclusive fitness to
both look and feel great!”
Iron Tribe was founded by fitness industry veteran Forrest
Walden in 2009 in his 400 square foot garage. Initially, it was
just to have a place for Forrest to do group-based workouts
with his friends because he couldn’t find anywhere locally
that offered the right amount of space and equipment. As
more and more friends begged to come and join his garage
gym, Forrest began to dream about starting a brand new
concept gym that would take his team-based, group workouts
to the next level and allow more lives to be impacted. The
first official Iron Tribe location opened in February of 2010
in Birmingham, Alabama. He considered the need to be fit
with a complete range of functional movement as crucial to
the stay-at-home mom and office worker as it is to the
Olympic athlete. The response from the community was
immediate and overwhelming!
The success of membership at Iron Tribe is group-based
accountability. Members from their 20s to their 70s have
workouts scaled and modified to accommodate individual
abilities. It doesn’t matter where a member begins because
Iron Tribe offers an introductory course called Iron Tribe
101. All classes are 45 minutes in length, and involve a warm
up, workout of the day, and cool down. All movements and
nutrition basics are taught in Iron Tribe 101 in the threetime-a-week class, lasting for four weeks. After Iron Tribe
101, additional classes are held to progress to greater levels of
work and fitness. A very popular program for kids ages 8-14
is also offered for strength and conditioning. Two highly

family event that brought out families
from across the DTC area to run, walk
or bike through the heart of the Tech
Center on an exciting new route.
Event organizers used the event to
support fellow Coloradans who were
victimized by the devastating wildfires,
taking the impact of this community
event statewide.
No. 5: Healthcare Symposium. This
annual event brought together leaders
from all different facets of this
important industry and in a single day
gave attendees a wealth of information
that would take weeks or months to
gather on their own. The community
response was very strong and plans are
underway for the 2014 version.
No. 4: Emergence of the DTC Young
Professionals Group. Behind the
energy and enthusiasm of several
Chamber members, this group took
some bold steps forward in 2013 and
has generated momentum for further
success in 2014. Through networking,
mentoring, education and
philanthropy, participation is steadily
growing and providing strong value to
the members.
No. 3: Taste of the Tech Center.
Thanks to daring creativity that took it
to the nationally recognized XJet
Hangar at Centennial Airport, the
2013 “Taste” maintained its standing
as one of the area’s premier annual
“foodie” events, setting new
benchmarks for attendance and
restaurant participation. Set to a posh
backdrop of exotic cars, jets and
luxurious appointments, the bar for
2014’s “Taste” was set high.

to right, Paul Oberman, Barb Owens, Mayor Ron Rakowsky, Curtis Frank, Neal Gold,

No. 2: Rollin’ Dreams Summerfest.
Combining some of the area’s coolest
cars with free drinks and food under
the Colorado summer sun, all to
benefit a nonprofit that helps kids
with cancer, the Rollin’ Dreams
Summerfest was overwhelmingly
successful. This event stands on the
precipice of being one of the largest
and most well-attended car shows in
the state, with proceeds benefiting the
new Rollin’ Dreams Foundation that
the Chamber has adopted as a
nonprofit partner.
No. 1: New Chamber Identity and
Brand. To fully capture what the
Chamber is about and to take a bold
step forward that its members
deserved, in early 2013 the
Greenwood Village Chamber
transformed to the DTC|Greenwood
Village Chamber. This transformation
included a new, more user-friendly
website, a new logo and rededication
to creating connections and value.
“We knew to keep our valued
members who supported us, and to
prove to other businesses in the area
that we are worthy of them joining,
we had to step up all parts of our
game, especially how we make a first
impression with our name and look,”
said Chamber President and CEO
John Herbers. “Our new look suits us
and it really propelled us to new
heights in 2013 that we are already
building on for 2014.” GV

Ian Levy, awardee of the 2013 Greenwood Village
Arts and Humanities Council Scholarship, proved
that he is well on the road to success. On the
evening of January 17, Ian played his saxophone
accompanied by his friends on the drums and
bass fiddle. The night was a smash for the
audience of more than 50 people who kept the
beat. Ian is attending the New School for Jazz
and Contemporary Music in New York. We are
delighted that Ian took the time from his holiday
leave to play for friends and fans. Ian succinctly
vowed, “To be successful in the incredible art
form of music, jazz in particular, it will take a
matter of self will and dedication.” We shall
continue to follow Ian Levy’s success.
