A more multi-purpose street

I recommend generally following the layout of ongoing construction east of Hwy 100, i.e., three traffic lanes, separate bike lane(s), sidewalks moved back from the curb. This continuity will also tie the community together with a look that people will identify as a St Louis Park. Try to keep existing trees and add new when needed.

I also recognize the need to move cars, so don't want changes that are too 'anti-car' lest we drive them to unwanted places. I'd recommend keeping speed at 30 or 35 mph, but welcome efforts to reduce speeding. I'm a fan of roundabouts but don't want to sacrifice viable retail to create (How functional are the small roundabouts?)

I also suggest a signaled crosswalk from Texa-Tonka to connect with retail on the south side of Mtka Blvd, as well as other efforts to create a pedestrian-focused residential and retail node in this area.
