London, Ontario drive-thru Petition
Drive-thru Petition
I’ve read the facts and,
- Whereas there is no evidence of any environmental benefit from a ban on drive-thru operations, and
- Whereas the peer reviewed RWDI study indicates that banning drive-thrus will lead to more emissions from cars in congested parking lots, bigger parking lots and more stores with added traffic congestion; and
- Whereas drive-thrus are a vital access point for the disabled, seniors, and parents with small children, and
- Whereas drive-thrus are especially helpful in bad weather for people who cannot move around easily, and
- Whereas drive-thrus enhance personal safety in unfamiliar areas late at night.
I oppose any move to prohibit drive-thru development over a significant part of the city and strongly oppose any move to impose a moratorium on drive-thrus in London. London has sufficient planning controls to deal with any site specific issues on any one site.
Please let City Hall know my opinion!
