Capital Improvements and Projects

The Safe Route to School 4th Ave Pedestrian Bridge and Trail has begun mobilization and construction. The area near the St Vrain and Park St, Evans and 4th Ave will have the most work in the coming months as the work progresses in the river to install the bridge abutments. Construction of a new sidewalk and ADA ramps on the west side of 4^th Ave. from Evans St. to Railroad Ave. has begun. The bridge has already been fabricated in Wisconsin and will transported to Lyons. The project is funded with $1M in Federal/State Funds to date. >>Learn More
Black Bear Hole and 2nd Ave Trailhead Improvements have also fenced off the area and begun work to improve access and parking and a public restroom facility. This project is funded with $282K from lottery dollars through Great Outdoors Colorado. The project will require the closing of the pedestrian bridge in order to replace the boards of the bridge.
Longmont Water Pump Station Project began earlier this week. Railroad Ave between 2nd and 3rd will be closed for the next 2 to 3 months. The parking lot will also be closed for this project estimated to run through mid July. They will be excavating a 100’ by 50’ by 20’ deep hole for their pump station and Railroad Ave. will be closed for much of the time that this project is going on.
Longs Peak Dr improvements are in the final stretch. They will be removing old road and putting in new road base the next 2 weeks and hope to be putting asphalt down the first week of April. Weather permitting.

Eagle Canyon Residents
Water Shut OFF

Wednesday, Mar 23 8 am-5 pm

One of the requirements from Boulder County after the flood was that Lyons remove portions of its old water line from the St Vrain Creek. Longmont is currently removing their lines and has offered to remove the Town’s lines at the same time.

The water shut off is expected to be all day on Wednesday, March 23rd. For one section of this project we need to turn off the water at a location that will turn off water for Eagle Canyon Residents. Contractors will then need to dig to the line, cut it and place a concrete block. The concrete block will then need 5 hours to setup before the water is turned on again.

Summit Housing | Lyons Valley Townhomes

Mobilization and Permitting

Summit Housing has begun mobilization for the affordable housing development located near McConnell and Carter Dr. Lyons Valley Townhomes (Summit Housing) has submitted their security bond for the public improvements. They were issued their ROW permit to begin construction on the infrastructure portion of the project. They have applied for their blasting permit. The permit has not been approved yet. Summit Housing has decided to have a company come in and do pre-blast inspections of the homes within the immediate area. We will update the project website once dates are available. Interested residents can learn more.
