Metro Transit has let two key agreements intended to boost safety of employees and passengers aboard the Blue Line expire, saying the agency now has enough staffing to handle the job. The transit agency signed pacts with the Bloomington and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport police departments last year to add officers at both MSP terminals and at the Mall of America as safety concerns .
The nonprofit said reports of crime in neighborhoods surrounding the Minneapolis campus have been up since November when compared to the number of reports in the same months a year ago.
Increased development, mainly from management companies based outside of Minnesota, has also brought more legal dilemmas for student renters than in the past.
