Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
There will be intermittent short closures as landscaping and punchlist items are completed.
The project website remains up and active until we complete a couple of follow up activities: a traffic study to verify that the intersection is working as expected and a noise study to verify the noise modeling that we did prior to construction. Results of those efforts will be posted to the website when they are complete in the next month or so. The webcam is no longer active.

There have been reports of ice on the trail near the triangle off 6th Ave. and Kenney Run. There is a naturally occurring spring at this location that is seeping through and leaving water on the trail. Signs have been set up to warn people about the ice. This is an area within the scope of work for the new elk crossing so a permanent fix is not planned at this time.

Kidde has recalled 37 million fire extinguishers due to safety concerns.

Smash Those Pumpkins into the Compost Bin
Farewell, Halloween - time to finish off the candy corn and, sweep up the cobwebs. If you still have a slowly decomposing jack-o-lantern outside, do not let it go to waste, use it to help bring new life by adding it to your organic waste compost bin.
Pumpkins and other food scraps retired to landfills decompose into rotting, methane-belching creatures. Methane is a toxic gas created by buried organic materials and is a common problem for landfills. Pumpkins are organic and compostable. When composted, pumpkins release water and nutrients to help create healthy compost soil. Be sure to remove candles or other non-organic adornments from pumpkins before composting.
New to composting? There is no better time to sign up for the Golden's Green Waste Service. This bi-weekly, year round service is provided by the city's waste contractor, Alpine Waste, and is directly billed to you for $9.45/month. This rate includes a discount each month for Golden residents, provided by the Community Sustainability Advisory Board.
Upon subscribing, you will receive a 96-gallon cart, to start your collection. Rid your yard of fall waste, and pass those Thanksgiving leftovers to your compost bin to ensure a green, sustainable Thanksgiving. Contact Alpine at (303) 277-TRASH (8727) or email
golden@alpinewaste.com.
