Again this year, the Superior Downhill Mile race will immediately precede the parade. This one-mile race is fast becoming a local favorite.  Details on the race are available in this month's newsletter.
The parade starts at 8:30 a.m. by the North Pool and Superior Elementary (at Indiana and Rock Creek Pkwy.). The line up for the floats will begin at 7:30 a.m. and the pedestrian line up begins at 8:00 a.m.  Come early to get the best seat and watch your neighbors show off their creativity. The parade will follow Rock Creek Parkway and end at Community Park.
The pancake breakfast is being held at Community Park and will begin at 9:00 a.m.  Be sure to hang out after breakfast and enjoy fun, dancing with the Kelly Aspen Band.  There will be plenty of vendors, interactive games and prizes, inflatables for kids, and lots more!

Did you know?
Rear-end collisions are the most common type of work zone accident.
Fatal work zone accidents occur most often in summer and fall.
4 out of 5 work zone fatalities are motorists.
 
Each year, warm weather brings new road projects and construction zones.  Lower speed limits, channelizing devices such as cones & drums, and flaggers all work to maintain work zone safety, but motorists also play a vital role in keeping these areas safe.  Here are some simple tips for navigating work zones:
 
Give your undivided attention.  Watch the brake lights of vehicles ahead of you & follow other vehicles at a safe distance.  Be prepared to react to rough surfaces, uneven pavement & unexpected movements by the traffic around you.
Obey posted speed limits.  Fines for speeding violations in work zones may be doubled.
Change lanes safely.  Merge well before you reach a lane closure, when traffic conditions permit. Be aware that traffic channelizing patterns can change daily.
Follow instructions from flaggers.  Crews or heavy equipment may need to enter your lane, in locations or at times not apparent to you.
Be patient.  It only takes an extra 25 seconds to travel 1 mile at 45 mph than it does at 65 mph.
 
Notice of major road projects in the Town of Superior will be posted on the Town website at www.townofsuperior.com.  Information about major construction projects and lane closures on State highways can be found at http://www.dot.state.co.us/Communications/

Each month, the Town includes information about issues and trends in the area of code enforcement.  During the month of April, 40 code violations were identified, primarily right-of-way obstructions such as basketball hoops, RV's, trailers. Thirty-seven of these were promptly corrected, resulting in a 92.5% compliance rate.

This month, we want to remind residents of the standards concerning Prohibited discharges.
 
Sec. 11-3-50 Illicit discharge prohibited; exemptions
(a)  Prohibited discharges. It is unlawful to discharge or cause to be discharged into the MS4 or watercourses any illicit discharge, including but not limited to the following:
(1)  Chemicals, petroleum products, paint, varnishes, solvents, oil and grease and other automotive fluids, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers or other toxic materials;
(2)  Nonhazardous liquid, solid wastes and yard wastes;
(3)  Hazardous materials, sewage, fecal coliform and pathogens, dissolved and particulate metals;
(4)  Trash, refuse, rubbish, garbage, food wastes and pet wastes.
(5)  Landscaping materials, sediment, lawn clippings, leaves, branches or other landscaping and yard debris;
 
Questions regarding the Town's code enforcement program should be directed to our Code Enforcement Officer, Reggie Nettles, at 303-499-3675, ext. 140 or reggien@townofsuperior.com.

Summer is here and all of us are getting outdoors to enjoy this beautiful area where we live.  Superior offers a variety of trails to walk and bike.  We are also a dog friendly community, and now is a good time for a reminder about some of the responsibilities of dog ownership.
 
Dogs off leash can cause all sorts of problems for their owners.  Dogs running free can, in a split second, decide to dash out into the street, chase a person or another dog, or harass wildlife.  Keeping your dog on a leash keeps the community safe, shows respect for your neighbors, and protects the wildlife in the area.

We have all heard the negative impact that dog waste can have on the environment; it can spread internal parasites and disease to people and wildlife.  Picking up is just part of having a dog.  If everyone would do it, there would be far fewer objections to dogs living and traveling in human communities.  Be proud to be seen picking up dog poop.  It may seem silly at first, but people who see you do this will know any mess left behind is NOT from your dog.  Picking up shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog. You set a great example for others, and you help create a brighter future for dogs and their people. 

We are lucky to live in such a beautiful community that is surrounded by open space and wild areas.  If we all take care to follow a few simple rules, and take basic precautions, our community can become healthier and more in touch with nature.

Boulder County Animal Control Officer
