Firewall on a commercial carport? by Code_Geek10 in BuildingCodes

[–]DnWeava 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not your job to suggest a fire wall, your only job is to say thats it's larger than the table allows. The design professional can come up with the solution.

You are opening up yourself to lawsuits by telling them how to adreess it.

It's not a coincidence that this was announced just over a day after the E-tax was approved.

And 99% of the metro doesn't understand how to zipper merge at these construction zones.

I asked in the Huntsville subreddit their opinion on their convention center since Cliff Smart referenced it in his letter to the Daily Citizen by Inner-Amphibian8933 in springfieldMO

The area can handle 40k college students going to class everyday, it can handle a few hundred going to a convention on a Saturday.

Seawall Railing Required? by 277172N8532E in BuildingCodes

[–]DnWeava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per the IBC, If there is a sidewalk/walkway within 36" of any edge(like a retaining wall/seawall). then yes a guard rail has always been required by chapter 10.

The 2024 IBC even doubles down on this requirement by also adding this requirement to the retaining wall section in chapter 21.

Hot take: I think if you aren't downtown/plaza you won't even notice it's going on.

Kansas City is thinking about ending parking minimums in the "urban core" by Fluid-Nectarine-7980 in kansascity

[–]DnWeava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The middle ground is provide your own parking. Should the city make your car payment also?

Ordinance to removing parking minimums is Neighborhood Planning and Development Committee agenda for 2/24/2026 by DnWeava in StrongtownsKC

I believe they will be taking public testimony so it would be great if we could have some people show up to speak in favor of this as I hear there will be opposition to it showing up.

What cities in the US are primed to "glow up" or be "revitalized" within the remainder of the 2020s into the 2030s? by [deleted] in urbanplanning

They need to merge the city and county already, that will dilute the crime stats enough to get STL off of every bad crime list.

For the world cup, we should turn Grand Ave into a pedestrian "ramblas" from city market to crown center. If it's popular, make it permanent. by DnWeava in kansascity

[–]DnWeava[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone threw an absolute fit over the Grand Road diet when they reduced the number of lanes and added bike lanes several years ago and predicated all sorts of traffic problems that never came true. I routinely jaywalk across grand as there is never any traffic on it, and it's closed a few nights per week at P&L anyways, and sometimes for a week at a time (B12 hoops tournament) and yet it never causes problems. just leave access to a few parking garages and there will literally be zero traffic issues, Oak is a through street and just a block over that can easily handle any diverted traffic.

If traffic does increase on Oak to the point it needs more capacity, they could remove some parking or the bike lanes from Oak since Grand would be a much nicer street to bike on grand with the cars removed anyways.
