Starting August 5, the southeast corner of 60th and Layton closes for about three weeks; northbound 60th traffic won't reach Layton. Construction runs until November — plan extra time or use the Loomis Road detour.
Common Council - May 19, 2026
Five House of Harley events got approval despite overlapping Layton Avenue construction; the Labor Day event passed 4-1 because it may collide with the first days of school and busing.
Common Council - Feb 17, 2026
Two big street projects are moving: S. 90th Street at Plainfield ($1.88 million) and W. Layton Avenue from 60th to 68th ($4.269 million). Layton Avenue is funded through the Meijer TIF, and the county covers costs above the city's $3 million share.
