Bjurstrom was walking in the southbound lanes near the 85th Street intersection at about 5:45 a.m. when he was struck by a 2008 Toyota Highlander, according to the State Patrol.
Authorities said road conditions were dry and the driver of the vehicle, a 32-year-old Anoka man, was not using alcohol.
The mayor and two council members say they object to the previously approved plan and want to explore alternatives for the route from St. Paul to White Bear Lake.
