Layton

Layton City has made great strides to increase active transportation throughout the community. Pedestrian and bike paths are currently being expanded, with a particular focus on increasing access among low-to-moderate income-neighborhoods. Furthermore, a walkability audit was conducted to ensure that major routes throughout the city are safe and accessible. In addition to promoting active living, Layton City has also increased access to healthy foods through a community garden and provides medication disposal services throughout the community.
