Different Opportunities

To Give Your Input!

The Town of Lyons has a few upcoming opportunities below to gather residential input. Several projects are in process and resident input and feedback is important to share with the BOT.

2025 Budget Input

The Board of Trustees would like to gather more input from residents regarding items that residents would like prioritized for the 2025 budget process. The short online form also asks residents to share which capital improvements (streets, stormwater or wastewater) are the most important.

We have created a short form on the Town website, where you may add your suggestions as a resident for the 2024 budget. townoflyons.com/2025budgetinput

St Vrain Invitational Cross Country Races

St Vrain Invitational

Cross Country Races today and tomorrow

The Lyons Middle and Senior High School will be hosting its annual St Vrain Cross Country Invitational. While the races and events take place near Bohn Park and the school, there will be a lot of families, runners and their vehicles parked along the public roads throughout the Lyons Valley Park Neighborhood. Thank you and Let's Go LYONS!

Safe Streets for All

Give your feedback

Improving pedestrian safety continues to be a priority for the Town of Lyons. While the Town is only 1.3 square miles, we are intersected by US-36 and also have SH-7 and SH-66 which go through our small town.

This federally funded safety project seeks to identify, understand, and reflect the community’s needs and desires for safer streets and access within Lyons, including improvements to traffic operations, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, lighting, access to schools and businesses, parking, and streetscape design.

Recommendations will identify future improvements. The Town would like to know the specific areas of concern related to pedestrian safety and our roadways. Learn more about the project and give your input via a short survey today.

Road Work Begins Monday Sept 23rd

Chip sealing and crack sealing work

The Town’s contractor, Vance Brothers, will be performing crack sealing and chip sealing for various roadways in town beginning on Monday, September 23rd.
Crack sealing will begin on Monday on the following roads/streets:
Old Main, Bloomfield Alley, 2nd Ave, 3rd Ave, 4th Ave, Park St, Evans St, Park Dr, Railroad Ave, Horizon Dr., Raymond Ct & McConnell Dr.
Then on Tuesday, chip seal work will begin on Old Main, 3rd Ave, Bloomfield Alley, Horizon Dr. and Raymond Ct. Chip seal work will take 2 to 3 days to complete.

The contractor will be placing “no-parking” signs this weekend on the affected streets. Please avoid parking on these streets during this time and thank you for your patience during this work.

Remain Bear Aware

During hyperphagia

Black bears in Colorado are entering hyperphagia and will spend up to 20 hours a day trying to eat more than 20,000 calories to fatten up for winter. As bears start to prepare for hibernation and hunt for food, there might be increased bear activity in Lyons. Keep your trash in the garage or secure it until the morning of your trash pick up. Do not put it out the night before.

Locking up trash and other potential food sources from bears is important to prevent them from becoming reliant on these sources for food. Bears become more of a risk when they associate humans with a food source. Garbage kills bears.
