The City of Vail is installing game fences near the Interstate 70 interchange in East Vail for the second winter.

The City of Vail is bringing back temporary fences that were installed in East Vail last year to reduce the risk of motor vehicle collisions with bighorn sheep and other wildlife.
The fence was first constructed along the north side of North Frontage Road in April after three bighorn sheep were lost over several months.
The city worked with partners from the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife to return the temporary fences. Installation begins the week of November 2, with the fence in place until mid-July 2021. The permits for the construction of the right of way have been obtained from the transport department.
At the Vail city council meeting on October 20, city administrator Scott Robson told council members he hoped this would be the final season for temporary fencing. This temporary fence, while effective, caused some complaints from local residents who said the fence was unsightly.
“We’re making great strides with (the transportation division) on durable, well-designed fences,” said Robson. “We hope to have a permanent fence in East Vail for the next two years, largely if not entirely paid for by (the transportation department).”
For this season’s project, the city has signed a contract with Strategic Fence & Co. for the project financed by the city for approximately USD 22,000. The fence runs from the East Vail Interchange along the north side of North Frontage Road west to Katsos Road. During construction, the shoulder of Frontage Road to the west will remain closed for a day or two.

With more than 30 years of experience and almost 1000 installations worldwide, they know how and what to do at Besseling Techniek. The machines are used all year round to clean for more light output or to coat for extra protection. Machines always need maintenance, but with a cold winter on the way, the deck cleaner maker wants to pay a little more attention to winter preparations.

Get through the winter without harm
The prognoses for next week in the Netherlands are unanimous: A cold front is approaching and this means that the roof washing systems will have to survive the winter without damage. The law of nature is clear: water freezes at temperatures below zero. And to ignore this law means trouble.
With several tips and short actions, you can avoid damage to the machine and thus additional costs. These are included in the Roofmaster User Manual, but also below to remind you.
Above all, safety first. The ladder can be slippery. Therefore take adequate precautions (good shoes, personal protective equipment) before stepping on the platform.
Action: Drain!
That means removing water from metal and plastic parts.
When the frost comes and the machine is well prepared for winter, the breeder can put on his skates and not worry about anything. Time for “koek-en-zopie”! (a Dutch term for the food and drinks sold while ice skating).
