Emergency Siren Testing

Begins Monday, April 4

Sirens are tested regularly on the first Monday of each month from April through August. The two-minute tests are done at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The purpose of the two tests is to familiarize people who work and live in different places with the sirens. Additionally, it is important to make sure the sirens work properly and to educate the public about what action to take when they hear the sirens.

Sirens are an effective way to warn people who are outdoors and in an immediate threat to safety. They are primarily intended to warn individuals in outdoor and high-risk areas. The sirens will broadcast a voice message immediately following the siren signal to inform the public of the situation and what actions should be taken.

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.

Transportation Options With Via

For seniors and those with disabilities

Tuesdays: Via will transport Lyons residents to Longmont and back during the hours of 8am-4:30pm, free of charge.
Wednesday – Friday: Via will transport Lyons residents within the town of Lyons during the hours of 9am-1pm. This means they will pick up/transport from a Lyons residence, take you somewhere in town, and bring you back to your Lyons home. This would be a great option for getting to/from lunch at Walter Self. You MUST live within the town proper (they will go as far west as Apple Valley Rd.) If you aren’t sure, you can call them to find out.

To schedule a ride: You must call at least 48 hours in advance (up to 7 days ahead of time) and there are no “same day” calls. You also need to cancel if your plans change.
