Streambank Improvements
at LaVern M Johnson Park 

During the month of October

In spring 2023, the North St. Vrain saw its highest runoff flows since the 2013 flood. While the creek held up well overall, several sections of the streambank inside of LaVern M Johnson Park need repair to ensure visitor safety and prevent further erosion. Beginning in mid-October, crews will reinforce those banks with stacked Lyons sandstone boulders and restore any areas disturbed during construction.
 
The sandstone itself comes with a unique story—boulders excavated from the Lyons Valley Townhomes housing development were donated to the Town and will now be repurposed for this project. They are currently stored at the Public Works facility on Ute Highway.
 
Work is expected to last into November. During this time, some areas of the park will be closed to the public for safety. We appreciate your patience as we make these important improvements to protect both the riverbank, the park and its visitors.
