MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS - 92ND AND FEDERALTraffic has been bad at 92nd and Federal for years, especially during rush hours. The DRCOG grant-funded project currently underway plans to alleviate some of that congestion. The cities of Westminster and Federal Heights have teamed up with CDOT (who controls Federal Boulevard) to add double left-hand turn lanes in all directions. Once these are installed, traffic will flow much more freely through this intersection. Crews have already begun undergrounding overhead utilities and once that’s accomplished, those new lanes can be added. Storm drains have to be installed, water lines and pavement will need to be replaced, new traffic islands constructed, and new lanes will be striped to show drivers how to negotiate the new lanes. Please be patient with crews while they work to improve this intersection. Below are some highlights of the project schedule -barring adverse weather and unforeseen field conditions.
March - May: Undergrounding overhead utilities - cable, phone and electric plus stormwater, curb and gutter work.
May - July: Water line replacement, curb and gutter work, traffic signal replacement.
August - November: street repaving, restriping and creating of new traffic islands.

Federal Heights police officer safety is a priority for City officials. The mayor and city council recently approved the purchase of additional protective gear for the officers. The new gear will help keep the officers safe in dangerous situations. We must keep our officers safe in order to keep the community safe. The City Council will also be discussing addition a traffic enforcement unit to the Police Department. Most of the complaints I receive from the community are related to people speeding through neighborhoods, ignoring stop signs, and lack of police presence. If you have input or comments regarding a potential traffic unit, we’d love to hear your input. Please contact me at [email protected] or 303-412-3525.

VEHICLE REGISTRATIONSAdams County, Colorado – Renewing your license plates in Colorado is now exciting and much easier. Citizens in 12 Colorado counties now have the option to renew their vehicle registration at any of the 20 self-service kiosks located in any of those participating counties.
“As government officials, we have a responsibility to utilize technology for the convenience of our citizens,” says Adams County Clerk and Recorder Stan Martin. “If you live in one county but shop, work, attend school or go on vacation in another participating county, you can use any kiosk along the way to renew your license plate. You’ll walk away with your tabs in minutes.”
The kiosks are available to residents of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas, El Paso, Freemont, Jefferson, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa and Weld counties. However, more counties may authorize kiosk transactions for residents later this year. Find your nearest kiosk at www.adcogov.org/renewal-kiosks.
“Our goal at the Motor Vehicle office has been to reduce wait times, and, since 2015, we’ve decreased the average wait time by 85%,” Martin says. “These new innovative kiosks will help that trend and provide quick and friendly service to the citizens of Adams County.”
The kiosks are yellow machines that look similar to an ATM. To use one, simply type your license plate number on the touch screen or scan the barcode on your renewal postcard; then, pay by check, credit or debit card. The kiosk will instantly print your receipt, vehicle registration and license plate tabs.
There are a couple of items to consider before using a kiosk:
• If your vehicle requires an emissions test, you’ll need to complete it at least two business days before using a kiosk. • If you have recently changed or updated your auto insurance, please wait four business days before using a kiosk. • If your grace period for your renewal has ended, you’ll need to visit one of our six Motor Vehicle locations i n Adams County.
Residents living in Adams County can use a renewal kiosk the following location:
Westminster Motor Vehicle Office, 8452 Federal Blvd., Westminster

CRIME PREVENTION FOR THE SUMMERMany of us enjoy the warm summer and look forward to the vacation we will take with our families. When we go on vacation we set up reservations, we plan the trip ahead, we call family and friends we also pack and prepare for the trip, but don’t forget to protect your home when you are gone. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent crime against your property while you are gone:
• Remember to have someone pick up your mail and paper every day.• Leave a key with a neighbor you trust and ask that the house be checked periodically. • Have the drapes periodically opened and closed; and have different lights turned on and off so the house
appears occupied.• Store your valuables.• Tell the police when you are leaving and when you
plan to return; and take advantage of the vacation watch program offered by the police department.
• Consider asking friends or relatives to live in your home while you are away.
Despite precautions, if intruders are determined to enter and burglarize your home, they can probably do so. However, burglars usually seek the easiest target and you can take steps to make your home less vulnerable. For more information on safety procedures, call Sergeant Bob Lininger 303-412-3549.

2018 WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASESThe City of Federal Heights realizes that safe drinking water and reliable wastewater services are valued by its citizens as much as they are by the citizens of every other municipality in the surrounding area. The City of Federal Heights obtains its water from the City of Westminster and wastewater services from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District located in Thornton and incurs the same rate increases from those service providers as do the citizens living in those municipalities. In order to maintain the infrastructure and resources necessary to bring these safe and reliable services to the doorstep of customers within the City, these rate increases unfortunately must be passed on through the City’s own water and sewer rates. These increases for 2018 of 8 percent for water and 1.4 percent for sewer match the increases being incurred by the City and will be reflected in the City’s utility billings. While these increases are never easy, they help to ensure the future existence of these services and are an essential component of making a high quality of life possible.
