I think some people might disagree, but thinking about some of the discussion about burying/cap and covering I-94, I kinda think highway 7 between 100 and 494 might be better suited in small sections in Hopkins and SLP.
I kinda view that section of 7 as what my parents used to say 169 was like before 1988 when it was still CASH 18 (even more so before Louisiana and Wooddale where grade separated), thinking about the current layout I don't see why Texas ave and Blake rd both have to connect, one can be removed and one can be separated like Wooddale. the crossings at 5th and 12th seems almost useless someone can point to some traffic volumes to say otherwise, that whole section can be shoved underground. and something could be done with hopkins crossroads and shady oak since IMO those are the two worst intersection on the highway
