Please keep reading for a heads up on what's happening in Golden this week, and please remember - don't eat all the candy at once.
Happy Halloween!

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 follow up activities, including 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.

Death Investigation in Golden
At 12:30 a.m. this morning, Oct. 31, 2017, the Golden Police Department was asked to conduct a welfare check at a RV trailer parked in the Clear Creek RV Park, 1401 10th St. in Golden. The request came in through police in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a result of their investigation into a homicide on the University of Utah campus.
Officers arrived at the trailer for the welfare check and found 63-year old Mitchell Bradford Ingle deceased inside. Preliminary investigations indicate that the man had been deceased for a few days. The victim was staying in the Clear Creek RV Park on a short-term lease. The death is suspicious and being actively investigated as a homicide.
There are two persons of interest in this case. They are 24-year old Austin Jeffrey Boutain, who turned himself in to the Utah Police today. 23-year old Kathleen Elizabeth Rose Boutain is the other person of interest and she is also in custody in Utah.
Because of the information received from Salt Lake City Police, Golden Police have reason to believe there are ties to our investigation and the ongoing investigation of the homicide on the University of Utah campus. The green 2000 Ford pickup truck with Colorado license plates, that was identified in Utah, is registered to the victim found in the trailer in Golden.
Golden Police and members of the 1st Judicial District Attorney's Office will head to Utah later today to gather additional information that may be helpful in our investigation.

Golden Jumps to Elite Status for Health
The City of Golden has a great reputation as a prime location to live, work and play. The City works hard to provide every opportunity for healthy living, and now our venture is award winning! We are honored to receive the award of "Elite Status" from LiveWell Colorado's HEAL Cities & Towns Campaign." HEAL, short for Healthy Eating, Active Living, recognizes Golden for its citywide commitment to creating an environment that fosters health, safety, wellness and physical activity for all residents and visitors.
A few examples of our efforts include changes to the City's Planning code, which requires all farmer's markets in town to accept SNAP benefits (Colorado's Food Assistance program). We have decreased water tap fees, making it more affordable for places to install water bottle filling stations and fountains. Vending machines located in the Golden Community Center and City Hall follow the USDA guidelines for healthy snacks and make access to them quick and easy.
Active lifestyles are encouraged in a wide variety of venues including (but not limited to) the new Ulysses Skate Park, bike skills park, well-maintained trails, an advanced kayak course on Clear Creek, the Splash Water Park, and an impressive golf course, Fossil Trace.
Transportation is easier than ever, with expanded Green Bus hours and connections to the Light Rail station; an expanded Bike Library which allows people of all ages to check out bikes at various locations throughout town; two Zip Cars available as part of a car-sharing service; and improved bridges that allow for better and safer traffic flow over busy streets for cyclists and pedestrians. For our youngest residents, we have the annual 'safe routes' walk and bike to school days.
These are just a few examples of the City's efforts toward our Golden Vision 2030 goals. Golden is proud of our commitment to health and wellness, and excited to be one of a select few cities in Colorado to achieve Elite Status.
