INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution is in reference to the public hearing on the EB Lyons Interpretive
Area Expansion Project.
DISCUSSION
The EB Lyons Interpretive Area Expansion Project will include a new ADA accessible trail
from the current EB Lyons building to a new trail along a planted prairie with an overlook,
two new parking lots to serve the trail, a shelter, a toilet facility, drinking fountain, kiosk,
expanded parking near the nature center building and improved visibility for the entrance
into EB Lyons Interpretive Center.
In particular, the expansion of EB Lyons Interpretive Area will include:
— Construction of a concrete trail and concrete pad to serve as an outdoor classroom
including associated grading and culvert installations
— Construction of concrete sidewalks to connect the current interpretative center to
the newly constructed trails and parking Tots
— Construction of stormwater management components
— Construction of two parking lots and associated grading
— Expansion of one parking lot and associated grading
— Construction of a toilet facility and associated electric services
— Construction of an open air pavilion and associated electric services
— Construction of a kiosk
— Installation of a water service to a people and pet drinking fountain and a flush
hydrant
— Site grading and utilities to accommodate a maintenance shop
— Provide and install limestone benches
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is bidding a separate project to
replace the existing maintenance building at EB Lyons. IDNR will manage that project
separately but in coordination with this project.
