The Terminal St. Tim Horton's could be a perfect example of what you are talking about. There is ample room for a laneway access, but the city's bizarre stance on drive thrus force customers into a difficult, cramped, parking lot. (among other things there is no room for incoming cars to access the parking lot if someone near the entrance is attempting to leave. That is why you see some regular customers backing in to their parking spots which makes leaving that much easier). This says nothing of the fact that having a drive thru has been known to account for as much as a
70% increase in business when compared to those without. But then again, since when does the city worry about businesses anyways. (unless they're condo developments)
