If the main concern for allowing a drive-thru is the possibility of traffic backing up onto Centre Street, I don't see any reason they couldn't just block off the driveways to and from Centre Street and require everyone to enter from 18th Ave.

They could set it up similar to the nearby McDonald's on 4th Street. You can't access the McDonald's from 4th Street. You must enter the parking lot from 23rd Ave. and the drive-thru wraps around the building, leaving you back on 23rd when you exit. The way it's set up, even if the drive-thru backs up, it goes into the parking lot. There would probably have to be 25-30 cars in line before it would disrupt traffic on 4th Street.

I've lived in the area for over a decade now, and I don't think I've ever seen more than 3 or 4 vehicles in line at the DQ drive-thru. So, I don't think backing up would ever be an issue there.
