Energy Saving Tips From EnergySmart
|
1) Schedule a service for your heating system. Find out what maintenance is required to keep your heating system operating efficiently.
2) As the cold begins reverse the switch on your ceiling fans so they blow upward, toward the ceiling. By reversing the fan's direction, the blades move air upward in winter. This is especially valuable in high ceiling rooms, where heat that naturally rises is forced back down into the room
3) Change the filter on your heating system to ensure it runs clean and efficiently.
Got questions? We've got answers! Call EnergySmart at 303-544-1000 to speak with an Energy Advisor at no charge.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION CORNER

Ice Cream Social & Special Event at the Superior Historical Museum This Saturday
Old Superior's most beloved teacher is the subject of a special exhibit at the Superior Historical Museum's monthly opening on September 3rd. Miss Edith Oerman taught at the Superior School for many years in the 1930's and 1940's. She dedicated her career to bringing the light of learning to the children of Superior's coal mining families and is fondly remembered for her efforts. In conjunction with the opening of the 2016 school year, displays featuring Miss Oerman and the two school buildings that were located in what is now Asti Park will be exhibited throughout the Museum.
In addition to the special exhibit, the Museum volunteers will host an ice cream social on the grounds of the old school yard adjoining the Museum building.
This is intended as a family event, so bring everyone to the Museum on Saturday, September 3, 2016 and visit the Museum, view the Miss Oerman exhibit and have a scoop of ice cream! Compare school days of old with yours or your children's.
The Superior Historical Museum is open from 10:00 o'clock a.m. till 2:00 p.m.
The Ice Cream Social starts at 12 o'clock noon.
The Museum is located at the corner of 2nd Avenue and Maple Streets in Original Superior.
Thanks go out to volunteers Katie Olson and Allyn Jarrett for their creative work on this project.

Now Accepting RESIDENTIAL SHARPS
|
Boulder County Household Hazardous Materials Management Facility
Each year, millions of Americans use needles, syringes, and lancets - also called sharps, to treat medical conditions at home. Disposing of those sharps after use can be a challenge.
Disposal of sharps generated in the home is not regulated in Colorado allowing the in-home sharps user to place them directly into the trash. Although this method is allowable, it is not recommended and should only be used as a last option if safe disposal methods are not available. Safe handling procedures should always be followed by the in-home sharps user.

ROAD WORK UPDATES
![](https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/SpacerImage.gif)
|
2016 Road Rehabilitation Project is Complete
The 2016 Road Rehabilitation Project is complete and Rock Creek Circle is open to all traffic. This project involved replacing curb and gutter, sidewalk, and asphalt. New striping, crosswalks, and an entrance median help to reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety. The Public Works & Utilities Department, Brannan Sand & Gravel, and J&T Consulting would like to thank all affected residents for their patience and flexibility during this project.
Town Center Street Construction: Main Street in the Superior Town Center is under construction now. This view is looking west from the Sport Stable.
McCaslin/Main Street Roundabout: Work on the McCaslin Boulevard roundabout by Superior Town Center will begin this month with the construction of temporary bypass lanes. North and southbound traffic will each have two travel lanes and a bike lane, and there will be a reduced speed limit of 25 mph through the work zone. This work is expected to last through the end of the year.
|
TRANSIT UPDATES
US 36 Express Lanes Change from HOV 2+ to HOV 3+ on January 1, 2017
|
As part of the US 36 Express Lanes project, the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes there will shift from HOV 2+ to HOV 3+ on January 1, 2017 (HOV 3+ equals a driver and at least two passengers). This change is happening to all Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) HOV lanes across the state. In February 2013, the CDOT Transportation Commission passed a resolution, which was also approved by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) in its Regional Transportation Plan, that all CDOT HOV Express Lanes would change from HOV 2+ to HOV 3+ on Jan. 1, 2017.
CDOT has assembled the information attached regarding this change.
|
|
The Superior Call-n-Ride service was reinstated this summer and began service August 1st. RTD offers three simple ways for riders to take the Call-n-Ride:
- Schedule a recurring trip with RTD's subscription service
- Make a one-time reservation by phone or online
- Ride reservation free from the US 36 and McCaslin Station during select morning and evening hours
|
Flashing School Zone Signs
![](https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/SpacerImage.gif)
|
School is back in session so it's time to pay attention to the flashing school zone signs! Flashing lights warn motorists when they are entering a 20 mph school zone. This lower speed limit improves road and pedestrian safety during school hours. Traffic violations, including but not limited to speeding, will result in increased fines. The school schedule varies from year to year so if in doubt, if the lights are flashing slow down to 20 mph.

Passenger Safety in Vehicles
|
Passenger safety in vehicles is important for everyone, not just children. Do you buckle up every time you get behind the wheel? How close are you to the steering wheel? Do you text and drive? In 2015 the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reported a 7.7% increase in motor vehicle wrecks. An easy step you can take to prevent becoming one of the 35,000 people who are involved in a serious vehicle accident is to simply wear your seatbelt correctly and ensure all passengers in your vehicle are restrained properly as well. The lap belt portion of the seatbelt should ride low across your hips not up over your abdomen. The shoulder belt should be centered across your collarbone not over your neck or behind your shoulder. Ideally the driver should be 10-12 inches away from the steering wheel; improving control of the vehicle and vision of the road. Ensure the buckle is locked; listen for the click and give the seatbelt a tug to ensure it does not come out of the buckle. Don't start driving until all vehicle occupants are securely in their seatbelts. September 18-24 is Child Passenger Safety Week. Take the time to ensure your child and all of the kids in your carpool are properly restrained. CLICK HERE for information on determining when to move your child into the next type of child restraint and when to move them into a seatbelt. Rocky Mountain Fire provides free car seat checks and assistance with car seat installation by appointment at all of our stations. Contact us at 303-494-3735 or [email protected] to set an appointment up with one of our car seat installation technicians. With everyone safely in seatbelts, a second step of safe driving is to minimize distractions. The easiest distractions to eliminate are texting while driving, talking on the phone, allowing the radio to distract you and eating behind the wheel. Before you drive away turn down the radio or turn it off and leave your phone in your pocket or purse (don't answer it while you are driving). Safely pull over to the side of the road out of traffic if you need to answer the phone or answer a text. We look forward to everyone making it safely to his or her destination.
