Dallas grappling with closing downtown McDonald's drive-thru to promote more walkability


Recommended Posts

I find this fascinating.   Dallas may not renew permit for McDonald's drive-thru in an effort to make the area more walkable.  The leaders quoted seem like they have made up their minds.  City council has final say...this will be interesting to follow.

Debate over McDonald's drive-thru is actually a debate about future of downtown Dallas

Dallas is also the city that destroyed old businesses by deciding to rezone them out of existence without compensation. I expect the drive through to be closed, followed by closure of the entire restaurant and then redevelopment into trendy places that the nearby residents can't afford.
