The Minneapolis skyline is visible from Woodale Avenue in St. Louis Park, with Highway 100 in the foreground. Highway 100, officially known as the Crosstown Highway, was constructed in stages from the 1950s through the 1970s to alleviate traffic congestion in the western suburbs and connect them to Minneapolis. The highway serves as a vital artery for commuters and commerce, facilitating access to the downtown business district and other key areas of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
