As Chick-fil-A Prepares to Open in New Orleans, Residents Prepare for Traffic Backups | Eater New Orleans

"I'm bracing for the Chick-fil-A at 4068 Tulane Avenue to make a notoriously traffic-heavy Mid City intersection even worse: it opens late next week with a drive-thru on a corner close to the Tulane Avenue I-10 exit, and residents have voiced fears at community meetings and on Reddit that backups could extend all the way to the offramp. Developer Sidney Torres demolished the existing building, rebuilt it further back from the street, added two drive-thru lanes and won city approval for a drive-thru-only restaurant (no indoor dining), though the plans include a 16-seat patio." - Clair Lorell
