As I understand it it'll lose the gas station, but keep the parking. It'll have a single entrance so parking should work nicely (these entrances are big)

You're not alone in thinking this way. Nothing official or even clearly proposed by politicians, but the idea is around.

Yeah, that highway needs to go for the area to spring to life.

You're not the only one with that idea too extending the cap all the way till the space widens out has been proposed at times for many years. Do that and you could take a lane or two from cars and add a second track to Saltsjöbanan.
