Setback on KCMO Development Code
In November 2007 the City Plan Commission added long term bicycle parking and bicycle/pedestrian traffic analysis to the proposed new development code. The first item would require indoor bike parking at most work places and overnight bike storage in apartment and condo buildings. The second item would require developers to include bicycles and pedestrians when they analyze the traffic impacts of new developments.
On December 18, 2007 several representatives of metro real estate developers testified against these two items and were able to convince the City Plan Commission to remove them from the proposal. The CPC meets again on February 5th and we need bicyclists and pedestrians to show up and speak out. More info coming soon.
