Sheriff's Office Reminders

Streets, Schools and Golf Carts

Our local officers and the Town would like to remind residents about the rules regarding speeding, parking and licensed golf carts. Now that school is OFFICIALLY back in session, it's a good reminder for everyone to practice safe driving.

Lyons Middle/Senior High School
The parking lot is under construction and there is very limited parking for students and for staff near the school. The school requests your help by NOT parking at the school to go to the dog park or biking/hiking access to Picture Rock Trail during school hours, Monday - Friday.

There is a stop sign directly in front of the school. Please remember to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. Staff and students are walking to and from the school during school hours. There are 3 crosswalks by the school for pedestrian safety. As a reminder, bicyclists and golf carts must also follow vehicular traffic rules.

The speed along McConnell and near the high school is 20 MPH. Remember, twenty is plenty!

Golf Carts

Drivers must have a valid driver's license to operate a golf cart in the town of Lyons.
If the driver has only a drivers permit, they must have a valid licensed driver with them while driving.
Also per code, no golf carts may be operated on any state highway within the Town limits, except to cross a state highway at a designated street intersection ie: 4th Ave and Broadway, golf cart must stay on 4th Ave.
Any person age 18 or younger must be secured by a seat belt at all times while operating or riding in a golf cart on Town streets or rights-of-way.

Parking Reminders - for all areas of Town
Please be courteous to your neighbors with these reminders:

No Parking

Thanks for your effort to keep Lyons safe for pedestrians, cyclists, dogs, golf carts and drivers!

High Street Stormwater Improvements Project

Beginning the Week of October 12

The High Street Stormwater Improvement project is scheduled to kick off the week of October 12! This project entails installing new storm drain along High Street between 5th Ave. and 4th Ave., and will continue down 4th Ave. from High Street to Main street. Also included will be a new concrete sidewalk being constructed on High Street, between 5th Ave. and 4th Ave. Once these items are complete, the roadway will be reconstructed on the eastbound lane of High Street and the southbound lane on 4th Ave.

What’s happening next week? 10/12 – 10/17
Mobilization of equipment and material is scheduled to start Traffic control setup Installation of erosion control items Asphalt removals

Traffic Impacts
The eastbound lane of High Street between 5th and 4th and southbound lane of 4th Ave between High Street and Main street will be closed until the end of November. On street parking on the southside of High Street and westside of 4th in these areas will not be available during this project. Business accesses will be maintained throughout the project with day to day closures to complete the work as needed. Detours will be signed so that traffic can keep moving around these areas. Pedestrian traffic will be allowed to access the businesses.

Safety concerns
This project will have open trenches while they install the new storm drain, so please avoid getting close to these areas. As with any construction project, there are safety concerns with equipment and trucks working; please give them space to work and do not impede their work space for your safety.
