Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: strāze

Inherited from Old High German: strāza

In summary

From Middle High German strāȥe, from Old High German strāȥa, from Proto-West Germanic *strātu (“street”), from Latin (via) strata.
The sense “strait” is a calque of Middle Low German strâte, itself a phono-semantic matching of Middle English streit, from Old French estreit (“narrow”), from unrelated Latin strictus.
