1964: When Layton first enacted winter parking restrictions; A uniform street numbering system in 1962


IT is a well-known ordinance in Layton City that no one can legally park a vehicle on any city street overnight during the months of December, January and February). This law is to aid snow removal by keeping the roads clear for plowing purposes.
But, when did this law first come along?
According to the Ogden Standard-Examiner of Jan. 22, 1964, that year is when the Layton City Council considered such a ban.
"Layton may push city parking ban" was the headline.
At the time, this law in neighboring cities was also believed to produce a reduction in auto burglaries as well.
-It was in 1962 that Layton City adopted a uniform street numbering system, according to the Standard-Examiner of Jan., 10, 1962. Gentile Street was the north-south baseline and a portion of the historic south Main Street was the east-west baseline.
