US 36/Main St. Streetscape ProjectThroughout the week of May 23, crews work continue installation of electric lines and sprinklers along US/36, from Lyons Quilting to downtown Main Street.
If any businesses have questions regarding accesses or the project, please contact Project Manager, Joe Kubala at jkubala@townoflyons.com.
The Town still awaits the delivery of the traffic detection cameras, required to begin operating the Stone Canyon/US-36 traffic signal. Once the traffic detection cameras are delivered and placed, the traffic signal will run with flashing red and yellow lights. See Sgt. Nick Goldberger's message regarding the new traffic control lights.
Please note that the schedule is subject to unforeseen construction issues, weather, etc. Additionally, the Town cannot predict exact details when work will be done in specific areas, e.g. in front of particular businesses, etc.You can sign up to receive email notifications of new updates for this project.Please continue to support local businesses. Read the letter from former Mayor O'Brien.
Railroad Avenue Water Transmission Line InstallationRailroad Ave will have intermittent closures until June 24, 2016, as new water transmission lines are installed. These closures will follow the immediate work area and not cover the entire length of the block. Access will be limited from each side during this period. The contractor will maintain access for water bulk station, however, may require alternate access directions, depending on location. The work will occur from 5th Avenue to 4th Avenue. Underground water installation should be completed and operational by June 17, remaining work will be surface paving and clean up.
The new lines will help equalize water pressure around Town.
Buyout Properties VegetationAs the newly-planted grasses planted in the buyout properties continue to grow, the Town continues to request cooperation to stay off the lots, to minimize impact, and allow the vegetation to establish. Please note these grasses were selected for their drought-resistance and low-maintenance features, as the grass mix was not designed to be mowed.
We appreciate your help and understanding in this matter.

St. Vrain Creek Restoration UpdateEnvironmentally Sensitive AreasPhase I one of the creek bank vegetation is complete, which included seeding, mulching, soil blankets, and over three thousand willow stakes. Please remember at this stage, the young willows - which look like hundreds of sticks projecting out of the ground - and seedlings are extremely vulnerable to damage. Please allow time for the habitat to establish, by limiting activities in these environmentally sensitive areas.
Crews will continue with the second phase of seeding and revegetation in the area following Spring run-off.

This event couldn't happen without the team of volunteers, and connections are made here that last a lifetime. Sign up for the 2016 Lyons Outdoor Games, the premier Colorado outdoor lifestyle, adventure sport and music festival (and beer fest)! All proceeds from this event go directly the Town of Lyons Parks, which are still recovering from the 2013 floods. Volunteers will receive a Lyons Outdoor Games STAFF t-shirt, a super fun sponsor prize swag bag, a meal from Pizaa Bar 66, and free admission to all the events and concerts for them and their immediate family members. We have plenty of volunteer slots to fill, with each shift averaging around 3 hours per shift. Don't be afraid to sign up for more than one shift for the event if you can manage! Without the volunteers, this event wouldn't be possible!
