These are probably the biggest reasons why the runway couldn't be shifted down, that really have no workarounds.
Noise forecasting for the last 30 years has modelled development in the area, moving the runway would change those assumptions. To move the runway far enough south so that Airport Trail could go through, would mean that the south end would be very close to McKnight, which would mean that there's a $100 million warehouse inside the buffer area.
