Tubing Ban/ClosureSt Vrain Creek
Sheriff Curtis Johnson, after consultation with the Town of Lyons and the Lyons Fire Protection District, has concluded that, in the interest of public safety, the North and Saint Vrain creeks and river will be closed to tubing and single chamber flotation devices. The closure will take effect on June 8, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. and encompass the North Saint Vrain and Saint Vrain Creek from Apple Valley Road to North Foothills Highway.
The closure includes watercraft such as single-chamber rafts, single-chamber belly boats, and inner tubes from floating in the creek. There is a specific exemption for kayaks and white-water canoes, which are permitted; nonetheless, kayakers are strongly encouraged to exercise caution and wear personal protection equipment, including a life jacket.
The tubing ban/closure will remain in effect until rescinded by the Sheriff.

Paving and Street ImprovementsWork scheduled to begin the week of June 19
Contractors for the Town will begin the 2023 street improvement projects on Town-managed streets the week of June 19, weather permitting. There will be both chip seal work, as well as overlay and patching work.
The contractor will be posting no parking signage and putting notices out as well.
Streets that are impacted include:
Steamboat Valley Rd, Vasquez Road, Vasquez Court
Eagle Valley Drive, Osprey Lane, Peregrine Lane, Falcon Lane
Welch Drive, Welch Court, McConnell Drive (in front of the High School from Bohn Ct to 2nd Ave)
Eagle Canyon Circle, Eagle Canyon Drive, Eagle Nest Lane
Chip sealing work consists of applying asphalt to a road surface followed by a layer of one-quarter inch chips that essentially create a new layer on top of the road. Chip sealing operations are a part of the Town’s primary roadway rehabilitation plan. The process is intended to extend the lifespan of the roadway and postpone larger reconstruction efforts that would require more expensive work and longer travel restrictions.
A week after the chips are applied, crews return to the area to apply a sealant designed to help the chips adhere to the road. The road will be a bit rougher than normal for a few weeks, but the vehicles driving on the road soon crush the chips down making for a smooth ride that will help the road last a lot longer than it normally would have. To help cyclists, the Town uses a 1/4-inch chip instead of the typical 1/2-inch chip on the surface of the road. This greatly enhances rideability and helps the road smooth out quicker.
