1. CNU News: New Urbanists Make Progress with Fire Code Officials at Baltimore Hearings

BALTIMORE – CNU's proposed changes to the International Fire Code won a split decision from the International Code Council’s fire code committee today, along with a clear invitation for more dialogue on street design between new urbanists and the fire service.

The committee rejected on a 9-4 vote the proposed code change to Section 503 of the fire code, the passage that currently mandates designated fire access roads have at least 20 feet of clear space (free of parked cars). The requirement can be a factor contributing to wider streets that signal to drivers to travel at faster speeds. If it had been accepted, CNU's proposed language change would have granted fire code officials flexibility to approve streets with less than 20 feet of clear space, depending on factors such as turning radii, connectivity, traffic safety, and the presence of sprinkler systems. Despite dealing the reform team that setback, the committee unanimously approved proposed Appendix K, which offers performance-based guidance to fire code officials on street designs.

2. CNU News: Miami Takes "Giant Step" Toward Being Pedestrian-Oriented City

Miami made history on Thursday Oct. 22nd by adopting "Miami 21," the most ambitious contemporary zoning code reform yet undertaken by a major U.S. city. After a 4-1 vote by city commissioners, the city will no longer have the conventional zoning code that helped make much of the city chiefly navigable by car and created harsh juxtapositions between new high-rises and existing fabric such as bungalows and small storefront buildings. Replacing it city-wide is a new urbanist form-based code —based on the Smartcode model code template —— that calls for convenient, walkable neighborhoods and gentler transitions between high-intensity and lower-scaled development. The new code known as Miami 21 "promises a healthier city and friendlier walking corridors," reported the Miami Herald in its coverage of the vote. The new code will take effect 120 days after passage.

3. Streetsblog: CNU Transportation Summit Raises Bar on Planning for Livable Cities

Streetsblog joins a corps of Tweeters to help you follow the reform action from Portland

CNU's 2009 Transportation Summit is off and rolling in Portland, with a truly CNU-style multi-disciplinary gathering of transportation engineers, urban planners, academics, public officials and advocates addressing the huge gap that needs to be filled if these efforts are to succeed: the design and performance of transportation networks.

Almost as soon as insights are shared by expert participants, attendees are broadcasting them on Twitter. And Streetsblog is providing more in-depth coverage, including a great day-one posting. Track the action and expect to hear more from CNU on reform advances at the summit.
