Drive-Thrus don't quite make sense... they just fit in better w/ suburbs than in inner-cities.
Drive-thrus in an inner-city environment causes un-wanted/needed congestion. Take a look at King/Dundurn's Tim's-Harvey's plaza. The exit from that lot onto King creates such a back-log of cars. So once they sit, idle, pollute while waiting for the non-recylable Tim's cup of Coffee they have to sit, idle, pollute again while waiting in line to get OUT of the lot.
So thinking of all the bad that comes from drive-thrus (greenhouse emissions, laziness, obesity & it's related diseases, killing urban life, etc)... I don't think they should limit the ban to only inner-city but rather city-wide INCL suburbs!
