Default Calgary considering banning new Drive-Thrus

Both aldermen said banning new drive-thrus would drop carbon emissions from idling cars that wait in line, while Pincott said it would improve communities by making people talk face-to-face instead of through a speaker.

Would this have any effect? Or would people be idling waiting for the lower number of parking spots? This would create an inequity between places that have a drive-thru and those that won't be allowed to have one. An interesting idea worth being discussed, but I don't see this going very far.
