Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

The KCMO Parks Board recently advanced a measure that would place stricter design guidelines on development on or near the City’s Boulevards and Parkways. The next stop for this development code update is the City Plan Commission (CPC) where commissioners will decide if the draft is ready for City Council to review.

A really exciting component to the proposed ordinance is a provision for pedestrian standards applicable to all new development requiring safe pedestrian connections between the public sidewalk, pedestrian amenities and main building entrances. All new development must include a convenient path for pedestrians to traverse a parking lot, safe from car traffic. Development must also include safe pedestrian travel between adjacent properties.
