| 词条 | Dave Thomas Circle |
| 释义 |
A 2010 project by the city's Department of Transportation made each of the streets one-way around the block, similar to a traffic circle. The department calls the traffic pattern a "virtual circle."[2] The only property on the block features a Wendy's fast food restaurant franchise and its parking lot, leading to the Dave Thomas Circle name, after the late Dave Thomas, who founded Wendy's in 1969, was its chief executive officer until 1985, and served as its long-time spokesman. In 2019, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser asked for $35 million for the city to buy the Wendy's and reconfigure the intersection to make it better for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. It would likely eliminate Dave Thomas Circle. Her request is subject to approval by the Council of the District of Columbia.[3] References1. ^{{cite news |last=Zak |first=Dan |date=December 26, 2017 |title=What’s a Wendy’s doing there?
