Bus service to and from Lyons to begin on Monday
Nov 1st
Lyons bus transit service to resume on Monday, Nov. 4
Boulder County, Colo. – RTD, in collaboration with The Town of Lyons and Boulder County, will resume service on its Lyons area transit routes beginning Monday, Nov. 4. This includes the restoration of two RTD bus routes:
Bus service to/from Lyons to begin
The Y route – Serving Lyons to Boulder via U.S. 36. The route runs between the Lyons Park-n-Ride (Broadway & 4th) and the Boulder Transit Center in Boulder (14th & Walnut)
The YL route – Serving Lyons to Longmont via U.S. 66 and 75th Street. The route runs between the Lyons Park-n-Ride (Broadway & 4th Ave.) and the 8th & Coffman Park-n-Ride in Longmont (8th Ave. & Coffman St).
The Y and YL routes had suspended operations since Sept. 12 as a result of the flood. Since that time, damage to the Town of Lyons has greatly improved, daytime access restrictions have been lifted, and area residents have begun to return to their homes. It is estimated that 70-80% of Lyons residents will have returned to their homes by the Nov. 4 restart date of the transit services.
Fares for the routes are $4 for the Y route and $5 for the YL route. Children 5 and under ride free. Seniors (65 and up), disabled, and K-12 students are eligible for a 50% reduced fare.
Lyons residents are also eligible to receive an EcoPass free of charge as part of a grant-funded pilot program through the end of 2014. EcoPasses can be obtained at Lyons Town Hall, temporarily relocated to Lyons Elementary School. The EcoPass provides free access to the Y and YL routes.
The Y and YL route both operate Monday through Friday. Some route stops may be temporarily moved to account for roadway damage

Mountain Community Debris Removal Beginning Nov. 4
Oct 24th
Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County is contracting with a removal company to begin roadside pickup of flood debris in the mountain communities. This is a large project that will span several weeks, and will depend on weather conditions and impending snow. We are asking residents to follow the guidelines listed below in order to help this project progress as efficiently as possible in the limited time we have before major snow falls limit our access even further.
What: Removal of household debris, woody debris (vegetation), and mud, silt etc.
When: Beginning the week of Nov. 4
Where: Removal trucks will drive down all accessible, county maintained mountain roads which are west of Hwy 36 and Hwy 93
Guidelines:
- Debris piles should be 3ft from the side of the roadway to allow for any snow removal operations
- Do not block the roadway, waterways or any culverts with debris
- Debris removal vehicles will only be able to access existing, county maintained, accessible roads at this time; unmaintained Jeep roads will not be serviced
- In order to follow state laws, and to allow for composting operations, please separate debris into 4 piles:
- General household debris
- Electronics and appliances
- Woody debris (vegetation)
- Mud, silt, sand and rock
The debris haulers have a potential reach of about 8ft from the edge of the road lane; for that reason, debris piles should be as close to the 3ft boundary along the road as possible so it can be reached and collected.
If time and weather permit debris collection trucks may make multiple trips up and down roads. However, we encourage residents to move debris to the road as soon as possible. There is no harm in leaving a debris pile near the roadway for a week or more before the truck makes it to your area.
If your property is on the other side of the creek from a major roadway, and you have no way of transporting debris to the accessible roadway, please do not push debris piles down into the creek. Any excess debris in the creeks can potentially cause more flooding downstream during normal spring runoff.
Please remember to be cautious when driving while these large debris haulers are on the road. There will be signage and flaggers warning of the presence of the trucks, but slower speeds and heightened awareness will help lessen any problems on the tight mountain curves.
Boulder County will issue a notification when the debris pickup project is coming to a close and ask residents to assemble any final debris piles before service is concluded.
For any questions about debris pickup in the mountain communities, please contact ReSource Conservation at 720-564-2220 or resourceconservation@bouldercounty.org.
