They are not intended, nor designed, to alert people in houses, businesses or vehicles of tornado warnings. Most outdoor warning systems in place in Colorado today are remnants of the old civil defense siren system.
Outdoor warning systems are expensive. Based on the model that says one siren covers 1 mile, the Town would need a minimum of 33 sirens at a cost of about $35,000 each, or $1.16 million. That amount does not include annual maintenance and fees.
To be prepared in the event of tornadic activity, the Town recommends that each homeowner and business purchase a NOAA weather radio. A good radio costs $25 and $50 and can be purchased at local stores. Some even are portable. These radios will alert you to any severe weather, not just tornadoes.
Residents also can register with a number of free services on the Internet to have severe weather alerts sent to their mobile devices.
These steps will ensure that you get notified of severe weather whether you are at home, work or outdoors. Preparedness begins with the individual, and these are two easy steps to be more prepared.

Priority 1Streets classified as arterials, major collectors, commercial/industrial and commercial business areas. These typically are high-volume streets that connect major sections of Town and provide access for emergency fire, police and medical services.

Stop signs, when properly located, can be useful traffic-control devices. But their installation must be carefully evaluated to be in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. More...
Each street's green indications are referred to as a phase. A simple intersection consists of two phases: • Phase one - green for the main street • Phase two - green for the cross street (This is called a cycle length.)
The amount of green each phase is given is based on the amount of traffic on the streets.
When signals are irregularly spaced, providing progression can be a very difficult task. On some streets, full two-way progression is only possible for very short stretches. Good coordination plans must be updated whenever traffic volumes increase or new signals are added.
Despite the difficulties, good signal coordination benefits include reduced auto air pollutant emissions, reduced delay for drivers, improved roadway efficiency and decreased fuel consumption.
Please give as much detail from the observed problem as possible.
• Early every Friday morning for the downtown and retail / business areas. • Residential areas are swept about once every 90 days. • Main routes are swept when necessary, like after snow events. • Specialty sweeping occurs near construction areas, transportation spills or traffic accident clean-ups, as required.
Like stop signs, speed bumps are perceived as an easy solution to speeding. But speed bumps also have limitations. Contacting law enforcement should be your first step if you have concerns about consistent speeding on a particular street.
Speed bumps, when properly located, can be a useful traffic-control device. However, their installation must be carefully evaluated.
At signalized intersections where there is a pedestrian signal, cross when the "walk" or walking pedestrian symbol lights up. A flashing "don't walk" or upraised hand symbol means that if you haven’t yet entered the intersection, it’s too late to cross the street before the traffic signal changes. A steady "don't walk" or a steady upraised hand signal means it’s too late to begin crossing. Don’t enter the street, but quickly finish crossing if you already have started. More...
