The City of Northglenn was visited by 134 first and second graders as they toured City facilities including City Hall, the Northglenn Recreation Center, Police Department, and the Municipal Court. The children had a hands on tour of the North Metro Fire trucks, Northglenn ambulances, sanitation equipment, street sweeper, park maintenance equipment, water trucks, and a lift truck.
At the end of the tour the kids participated in a community service project by cleaning up the E. B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park. It was a day full of learning and fun!

| sidewalks & fire hydrants |
Please refer to Municipal Code Sections 16-1-2, 16-1-3, 16-1-4, and 16-1-5 for requirements regarding removal of snow and ice from sidewalks.
To protect public health and prevent accidents that can occur from deposits of winter snow on sidewalks and in roadways, residents and business owners are asked to pile snow on private property. Additionally, shoveling snow/ice onto public streets creates unsafe driving conditions, can cause delays in the City's snow plowing efforts, and can increase the cost of snow removal.
Business owners or residents with a fire hydrant on or adjacent to their property are encouraged to remove snow from and around the hydrant. This allows hydrant visibility and fire department accessibility should an emergency situation occur.
Also, keep in mind that throughout the winter months snowplow crews will be out clearing roadways and streets during and after each snowfall. At this same time, residents and business owners will be clearing their driveways and property. Many times while this is going on, a snowplow can pass by and fill in the end of a freshly cleared private driveway with snow. This is not intentional, and this wintertime inconvenience can be minimized.
