I dunno, for once the city is using some foresight on planning. Imagine the outrage in 10 years when they start building the green line, and the drive through is blocking some pedestrian infrastructure near the station. DQ then ends up losing access, it turns into a big legal fight, and everyone is left asking "why were they allowed to build a drive through 10 years ago when they rebuilt? You approved this, you can't take it away!"
I think the benefits to everyone outweigh the needs of them to rebuild in a manner that isn't compatible with the future planning of the area.
