Dear Byron Community,
As many of you are aware, there has been a lot of work taking place throughout Byron School District 226 this summer. I’d like to take a moment to update you on some projects that will affect the bike path, as well as upcoming dates that will affect access to those areas.
Please refer to the attached map for highlighted sections showing where work is occurring:
• Bike Path (Yellow Highlight): Beginning Tuesday, July 29th, the bike path will be seal-coated. This work will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, with completion expected by July 30th.
• Bike Path Striping: On Thursday, July 31st, striping will be added to the bike path.
- Please refrain from using the bike path on July 29th and 30th to allow crews to complete the work safely and efficiently. Bike path will be ready for foot traffic on July 31st.
• Pavilion Construction (Blue Highlight): Work has also started on a new pavilion, located between baseball/softball fields 1, 2, 3, and 4. This area is marked in blue on the attached map. This will affect the walking path in this area.
• Soccer Stadium Bleachers (Red Highlight): A concrete pad and bleachers are being installed at the soccer stadium. This will affect the bike path area marked in red on the map.
We kindly ask that you use caution around all construction areas and avoid restricted zones, when possible, to ensure everyone’s safety.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as these improvements are completed.
