Juneteenth On Monday, June 6th, the Lyons Board of Trustees issued a Juneteenth Proclamation at their meeting to raise awareness and celebrate this important event in U.S. history. Juneteenth, which falls on June 19 each year, celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation officially ended slavery in 1863, enforcement in all the states took several years. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers reached Galveston, TX, that all enslaved people in the country were finally freed.
On Friday, June 17, 2022 at 9 am there will be a Flag Raising Ceremony at the flagpole triangle in Lyons. The town will raise a Juneteenth Flag with a few remarks from Mayor Rogin. Please join us. Town Hall will be closed on Monday, June 20th in observation of Juneteenth.

4th Ave Ped Bridge Update There was a conflict with the proposed placement of the caisson and the existing retaining wall on the south bank, the engineering team decided to move the bridge 3’ south to avoid the retaining wall. Two caissons were poured but one of the caissons did not meet specifications, as there was an anomaly in the concrete. Town staff, the contractor and construction manager have been working with the structural engineers on the determination towards best way forward for a new caisson.
Both staff and the contractor are waiting on new direction and design from the engineers. They have enough information to start work in the south side. But are waiting on the driller's availability along with waiting on delays of ordered material.
In the meantime, the contractor has completed the sidewalk work up to the bridge approaches along with some trail work. Completion is expected in late summer.
