The entrance to Tim Hortons on 2nd ave. is constantly blocking traffic. Summer traffic is ridiculous at the intersection due to slow drive thru...Block this entrance and permanently close it..thus allowing flow thru Tims Lot...

I don't understand the fuss. I have been in that line and also driven by it on my way to work. It is not that big a deal. You can clearly see the cars waiting in line. There is more than enough time to make a right hand turn onto 15th street after that entrance way into Timmies.
Practice some patience people. How quickly would you enter that lane to make a right handed turn even if there was no one waiting in that line?
If you are so scared of that line which seem silly to me then pick a different route.
I would not want to see your lack of patience in a city that actually had traffic problems, and or long line ups in turning lanes etc.

lol - this is funny :) I'll do you all a favour and make a special stop at a Tim Horton establishment (of which I don't because I prefer GW) and I'll report a complaint to the Manager alright :) I'll inform them that there is a post on paNOW regarding their business and that community members are very discouraged with them. I'm not sure if anyone is able to take some of thier pent up anger and actually address the situation; but I will take a stand for all of you ok :) call it assisting my fellow citizens...
Now if this is surely an issue, of which I totally agree is a real one, then do something about it on behalf of yourself - no one of importance is adressing these issues on these forums - otherwise the repeated complaints would be dealt with.. Trust me, the Mayor is probably just tossing em' all under the rug as usual.
On your way to work today, off to lunch, home or if you don't even work, get up, get out and pay a Tim Horton's establishment's Manager a visit. Address your concerns verbally and maybe follow it up with a written complaint copied to the City Mayor, Development Office and Herald/News. It might actually help release the pent up anger towards one another, and move forward with some results.
Honk all you want; it isn't working

Law of the Garbage Trucks
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
Have a garbage-free day
author unknown - but try smile in the wake of all the garbage :)

Here is a novel idea... Instead of complaining on this web site which has NO ability to fix anything, go to www.citypa.ca look under the "contact us" tab and you will see a link that says "report a problem." When you fill in that form, then someone from the City actually addresses your concern and will get back to you on what can be done about the problem. If enough people report this as a problem to the City, then they will likely make it a priority to resolve.
ps. this applies to any City issue. Contact the CITY people! paNow isn't going to close a drive thru or put up traffic lights or fix your pot holes.

I agree its a pain in the butt to try and get by there in the morning but the other way would be worse.

perhaps those vehicles are not stopped for Tim's but for turning right on 15th, but traffic is blocked due to some driver not knowing the rules, or just wanting to get into the inside lane right away... so everyone is backed up.
that would be a perfect defence for a ticket.
also, that big sign faces the wrong way at Tim's... if you are a couple cars back, you don't see it. And the "No Stopping" sign doesn't apply cause you are not stopping, you are just stuck in traffic

oh... and I was just in the one on Marquis and I can see that one being worse for the traffic in the parking area. the drive through makes a perfect knot!
and there will be traffic issues on Marquis also with people trying to turn in one both entrances.
