Culver City Pauses New Drive-Thrus | Venice Beach News

Culver City is rolling back the drive-thru boom after residents revolted against traffic and pollution from new fast-food spots — especially near a school. In-N-Out’s proposed Spelveda and Sawtelle location sparked outrage, leading the City Council to pause new drive-thrus for 45 days, with plans to make it permanent. The nine existing drive-thrus are safe, but the city is also considering walk-up windows to keep accessibility in mind. With California’s drive-thru legacy dating back to 1948’s first In-N-Out, this move signals a cultural shift. The council will vote Monday to extend the pause for another 10 months — a step toward a final decision that could reshape how we eat on the go.
