Never reticent Mike. You had me as a convert from day 1.
This is not true, the president of state fire marshals group misunderstood the study. It found that even with sprinklers, doors, etc. failing, fewer people are faced with blocked egress in a single-stair building than in a double-loaded corridor building.
Also…let’s just be a state where codes are based in reality and risk analysis. The study commissioned by DLI (which sets our state code) decisively concluded “that certain single-staircase buildings, with appropriate fire safety measures, are no less safe” than 2 stair buildings we currently allow.
Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:
Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...
The fire protection engineers tasked with doing Minnesota’s single-stair study will present their findings at 1 p.m. CT on Fri., Dec. 12. The virtual meeting registration (it’s open to call) is here: www.dli.mn.gov/about-depart...

Curious if they took advantage of the @minneapolismn.gov Green Cost Share program!?
Great success story!
Love this!

Bikes don’t work for every person & every trip, just as cars don’t work for every person & every trip.
Our communities are better when individuals have the freedom to choose from multiple safe, efficient modes of travel.
