Proposed Draft Floodplain Mapping

Tonight, Dec. 21 | 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Lyons Town Hall Board Room

Following the 2013 flood, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) initiated a program to re-map the predicted 1% chance regulatory floodplain (100-year flood zone) of the most affected waterways. The program was named the "Colorado Hazard Mapping Program" or "CHAMP".

The CWCB draft floodplain maps will reflect changes to waterways caused by the 2013 flood and the recovery work since that flood. They'll also utilize more accurate data and advanced technology than was available when the current maps were created. As a result, the CWCB draft maps will be a more accurate representation of the anticipated 1% annual flood elevation and therefore more precisely reflect the flood risk for residents than the existing regulatory floodplain maps.

Town of Lyons Draft Floodplain Maps

The Town is currently reviewing the proposed new floodplain maps, within Town limits. The working draft floodplain map, as well as the current (2012) FEMA-adopted map, can be found here.

2017 Lyons EcoPass

Great news! The Town of Lyons, with the support of Boulder County, has renewed the community EcoPass program for 2017. This program provides all Lyons residents with a bus pass for RTD’s front range bus and light rail services. The only change to the program from previous years is that there will now be a small annual fee for the EcoPass that will be due before the end of March 2017. While the cost of the fee is in the process of being finalized, users can expect the annual fee to be between $25 and $50, with exceptions. Some exceptions may include discounts for students, elderly, and low income residents. The pass has a retail value of over $2,000.

More details of the program, pricing, and the purchasing process will be determined and announced in early 2017. Until then, current EcoPasses will automatically renew in the New Year.

For more information, visit the Town's EcoPass Page, or contact Sustainability Coordinator, Toby Russell at 303-823-6622, ext. 46.
