Tuesday morning I rode on the first LRT with ad graphics that adhered to the new policy of less graphics covering the windows and no graphics on the door windows. It was an ad wrap for Sun Country Airlines. I didn't really notice the graphics change from the outside of the Light Rail car before boarding. The LRT did seem a lot more "open" when inside as a passenger. I like the door glass being clear. It probably doesn't add much to safety but it's reassuring.

Arrests in April LRT robberiesSubmitted by Maureen McCarthy, Star Tribune Editor on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 2:00pm.The Third Precinct SAFE office reports arrests in some robberies near the light-rail station at 38th Street last month. Here’s the bulletin sent out today. From: Shun.Tillman@ci.minneapolis.mn.us To: _____________________
Sent: Fri, 4 May 2007 12:29 PM Subject: SAFE 3.4: LRT Arrest 38th & Hiawatha Corridor "Two adult suspects were arrested on April 25th at 11:30 p.m. related to two incidents of robbery of person along the LRT 38th & Hiawatha corridor. "In case number one the victim was walking eastbound on 38th Street at 29th Ave S. when the suspects who had been hassling him earlier and trying to sell him drugs stepped in front of him and searched his person, and demanded his wallet and valuables. The suspects found nothing and the victim handed them a quarter from his pocket and was allowed to leave. The victim returned to his residence and called 911. "In the mean time, the suspects confronted a second victim at 38th & Hiawatha, stopped him, went through his pockets and attempted to take money but the victim had no money. The suspects did take a red lighter then fled at which time the victim called 911. In route to the previous call from the first victim officers observed two suspects matching the description walking westbound on 38th Street at 22nd Ave S. These two suspects were stopped and taken into custody. During a search of the suspects, the red lighter was recovered. "The victims in both cases were able to identify both arrested parties as the suspects in their case. Police Investigators believe the two suspects are also connected to three other robberies of persons that occurred about 11:00 p.m. on April 25th."
