Whitehorse city councillors are mulling something that would be a new sight in the city — a drive-thru restaurant along the Alaska Highway corridor. Councillor Jocelyn Curteanu said the highway drive-thru "might not be a bad idea." In 2016, another proposal for an Alaska Highway drive-thru (further north, at the Kopper King) came before council and city staff recommended against it. Council ended up approving that proposal anyway, though no drive-thru establishment has yet been built on that site. Other businesses may follow, city staff saysIn its report to council, city staff noted the convenience of a drive-thru but also suggested that re-zoning the lot might pave the way for more.
