Lyons Fire Protection District will host a Community Meeting for residents of the Town of Lyons regarding the ongoing update to the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) on Tuesday, June 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Lyons Station 1, 251 Broadway. The purpose of the meeting is to collect community input on wildfire prevention. There will be a brief presentation at 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm to explain the CWPP process, followed by an open house format to receive community input. They want to hear your questions and concerns about issues such as priorities for protection, where you think mitigation is needed, barriers to improving the defense of your property, evacuation concerns, and help you may need. While this meeting will be focused on the Town of Lyons, anyone in the District is welcome to attend. There will be other meetings for the unincorporated areas of Boulder and Larimer County portions of the District later in the summer.

Wildfire Mitigation Town of Lyons Match for Boulder County Wildfire Partners
Boulder County will continue their wildfire mitigation program which offers up to $500 to homeowners who complete eligible mitigation activities. New this year - the Town of Lyons will match up to an additional $500 per household for eligible mitigation activities until the matching funds are depleted. The Town of Lyons Wildfire Mitigation program will utilize the same eligible mitigation activities as Boulder County but will also require an Individual Home Assessment which is offered by Wildfire Partners. Boulder County does NOT require a home assessment to claim a rebate.
The first step for the Lyons Rebate is to get your individual home assessment.
Sign up at www.wildfirepartners.org today and begin your home assessment.

Street Improvements in Lyons Starting in mid June
Starting the week of June 16, a pavement firm will begin mobilization in Lyons with a project list, which includes repaving some streets north of Main Street, installing some curb and gutter, and upgrading storm drainage along various streets in Town. These improvements will enhance safety, drainage, and street quality. The funding was approved by the BOT at the June 2, BOT meeting. Based on the recommendations of the Pavement Management Report, some streets will be repaved, some will have chip seal and some crack seal repairs. Work is expected to last through August. This work includes: • Reese Street: From 4th Avenue to 5th Avenue • Seward Street: From 4th Avenue to 5th Avenue • Stickney Street: From 4th Avenue to 5th Avenue • 4th Avenue: From Reese Street to Stickney Street • Stone Canyon Drive • 1st Avenue • Ewald Avenue Interested and/or impacted residents are welcome to a community style open house to learn more on Thursday, June 12 at 6 pm at the Lyons Regional Library. Staff, including the Town Engineer will be on hand to answer questions. As work begins, the contractor will post “no-parking” signage with no-parking dates a couple days before they begin on each street. This means that your vehicle needs to be off the street and either parked in your driveway or on another street that is not impacted by this work during those posted dates. Please adhere to the no-parking signage or your vehicle will be towed! Keep in mind timing as well, during paving and chip sealing operations your driveway might be in accessible for several hours. This also applies to any other things that might be parked in the street such as campers, RVs, moving pods, landscaping materials, etc. As the work dates for each street get closer, residents on the streets impacted will receive door knockers in the coming weeks. Please watch for posted signs and detours. We appreciate your patience.
