Energy Saving Tips From
EnergySmart
|
1) Seal access opening to attic (weather-stripping all works great).
2) Install additional insulation in the attic (and walls if so desired). EnergySmart recommends scheduling an Energy Assessment which uses diagnostic tools of a blower door test and infrared imaging to pinpoint leaking areas in your home. 3) Get ready for the colder months by sealing cracks and openings to prevent cold air from coming in your home. Add caulk or weather-stripping to seal air leaks around leaky doors and windows.
Got questions? We've got answers! Call EnergySmart at 303-544-1000 to speak with an Energy Advisor at no charge.

Town of Superior -
2017 Budget
|
Over the past several months, the Board and staff have been developing, reviewing and finalizing the proposed 2017 budget. The Board has conducted preliminary reviews of the budget during three meetings in August and September. Final review and approval of the Town budget is scheduled for Monday October 10, 2016. The 2017 $42 million budget continues to build on the following themes:
- Continued investment/reinvestment in current assets (roads, parks, utility plants and systems) - $2.8 million
- New/enhanced trails - $2.5 million
- 14th consecutive year that at least one Town controlled property tax rate has been reduced
- A reduction of planned water rate increases. In last year's 2016 budget, water rates were planned to increase 5% annually for the foreseeable future. With smart, targeted growth, such as the Superior Town Center, water rate increases are now planned at 2.5% in 2017 and 2018 and 0% in 2019 - 2021.
- Aggressive reduction of outstanding debt/long term obligations - $4.7 million in principal payments in 2017. In 2006 Superior's total debt/long term obligation level was over $71 million. This number will be reduced to $33 million by the end of 2017

HISTORICAL COM
M
ISSION CORNER
|
Thanks go out to all of you who visited the
Superior Historical Museum on September 3rd! We had a very nice turnout for the opening of our new exhibit,
"The Exceptional Miss Oerman." Miss Oerman taught at the Superior School from the mid 1930's to the mid 1950's. Believe it or not, nearly ten of her former students were at the exhibit opening and shared their memories of this extraordinary lady.
The exhibit will be in place throughout October. If you were unable to visit the Museum last month or on October 1st, you can arrange to see this exhibit by contacting
Larry Dorsey,
303-499-1969 or
Bryan Meyer,
303-499-3675. Thanks go out to
Allyn Jarrett and
Katie Olson for their work on the Miss Oerman exhibit. An example of Miss Oerman's devotion to the children of Superior is that she gave each graduating 8th grade student a personalized painting by her own hand. Included here are examples of her art and the exhibit at the Museum.
Be on the lookout for our
November activities. In conjunction with Veterans Day, military service will be the focus of our exhibit. We plan on a ceremony at the Veterans Memorial in Asti Park near the Museum.
By the time you read this, the Historical Commission and Town Trustees will have conducted three 2nd grade field trips to the Museum, Grasso Park and the Town Hall Board Room. Thanks to the Superior, Eldorado and Monarch teachers and to the parents who helped chaperone the field trips.
The historic house in Grasso Park and the Historical Museum will both be fitted with rain gutters and downspouts within the next few weeks. They will be historically accurate "half pipe" style gutters to fit into the era of the buildings. The purpose is to minimize the damage to the siding by draining rain and snow melt.
Come see your local
Museum located at
2nd and Maple Streets in Original Town Superior. Need more information, contact
Bryan Meyer at
303-499-3675 or
Larry Dorsey at
303-499-1969.

SNOW BUSTERS!
|
Colorado winters bring an average of 88 inches of snow to Boulder Valley every year! The Town of Superior is coordinating a snow removal assistance program to match residents in need of assistance with committed local volunteers who will shovel sidewalks following significant snow fall.
Need Assistance? Residents who may quality include:
- Individuals with a disability or physical impairment; - Seniors who are physically unable to lift or move snow and ice; - Individuals unable to pay for a private contractor to provide this service;
Interested in Volunteering?
Volunteers will be assigned a neighbor who needs assistance with snow removal. Upon pairing, contact information will be exchanged and communication will remain between the Snow Buster and resident moving forward. Snow must be removed within 24 hours of a snow fall consisting of more than 2 inches of snow. *The only required section of property to remove snow from is the side walk in front of the home.* For more information and to apply for Snow Removal Assistance or volunteering, please register at www.volunteersuperior.com or call 303-499-3675 ext 122.

ROAD WORK UPDATES
|
McCaslin/Main Street Roundabout
Work on the McCaslin Boulevard/Main Street roundabout serving the Superior Town Center has begun 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. A pedestrian path is also available on the east side of the concrete barrier along the northbound lanes. Please use caution as you travel through this work zone. This work is expected to last through the end of the year.
McCaslin BRT Station to Coal Creek Trail
Construction of a concrete multi-use trail is underway north of Brakes Plus, Superior Liquor and Old Chicago.
This trail will connect the McCaslin Bus Station with the Coal Creek Regional Trail. The concrete trail should be complete by
mid-October, with landscape work scheduled for next spring. This project was made possible through a federal grant awarded through the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

HOV 3: Coming to an Express Lane Near You
|
Beginning
January 1, 2017, the I-25 and US 36 Express Lanes will require three or more passengers for free High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) travel. Switching from
HOV 2 to HOV 3 will keep the Express Lanes free of congestion, but could result in more vehicles traveling in the general purpose lanes. Before this change has a chance to impact you, try hopping in a car/vanpool or on transit. Our
incentives give you up to $75 when you share your commute, and
mywaytogo.org makes finding a travel buddy a breeze.

short survey and tell us which mode you are ready to get started with (vanpool, carpool, bus).
Yes, it's that easy!

National Fire Prevention Week
October 9th - 15th
|
October 9th-15th is
National Fire Prevention Week. Raise your family's awareness of fire safety through fun family activities. Host a fire drill in your home and see how quickly the entire family can get outside and to your designated meeting place. Not challenging enough? Turn the lights out and crawl outside of your house practicing staying below the smoke at night when it is dark in the house.
To practice a home fire drill have everyone in your family go to different places in the house and then have an adult test the smoke detector. Once the alarm goes off, everyone quickly (not running) leaves the house and meets up at the designated meeting spot. Once outside ensure no one stopped to take toys, computers, or a purse with and that no one went back inside to get car keys, the turtle or their homework. In a real fire we'll write the teacher a note.
If you are looking for an activity out of the house, come to the
Fire Station at 2701 S Indiana Street,
October 9 anytime
between 1:00 and 4:00 pm for an open house. Check out the station and trucks or have your child's car seat inspected for proper installation.
We look forward to seeing you on the 9th!
