Accidents will increase

[u/Minimum-Act6859]

The location of a new Chick-fil-A being built on Gateway and Beltline was a poor decision by Springfield City Planning. The amount of people trying to turn left out of McDonald’s and Panda Express across oncoming traffic is terrible. Adding another fast food restaurant right at the corner of a major through-fair and an express way is an outstanding decision for automobile insurance companies and local body shops.

I remember worrying about all the extra traffic on Coburg Rd before Winco opened. I thought the concern was warranted since Winco is such a popular grocery store and there's already Costco right next door. I have to say, the added traffic in the area has been pretty negligible imo. Maybe--hopefully--this will be the same.

I think the main difference is the drive-thru and limited parking making lines back up into the road (Gateway/Beltline). Not the case for WinCo and their huge parking lots, haha.

yeah that makes sense. hopefully they'll have a plan to address long drive-thru lines that snake throughout the parking lot or something.

They do have processes for this actually
