Minneapolis bans drive-thrus to help meet emissions goals

Minneapolis, Minnesota, will not be home to any new drive-thru windows in the future.

Following a city council vote, members have voted to update zoning laws that will ban construction of any new drive-thru windows.

Businesses with existing drive-thru operations needn't worry, however, as they've been grandfathered in.

The whole premise behind the change is to reduce vehicle emissions, Streetsblog reported Friday.

A secondary component of the ban is to ensure pedestrians remain safe on walkways.

The Minneapolis City Council declared the zoning change will help achieve the city's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% come 2050.
