A local nonprofit has filed a federal lawsuit in an effort to stall a $1.6 billion Southwest Metro Transit light rail project connecting downtown Minneapolis to the southwestern suburbs.
Authorities have identified the 42-year-old woman who died after being struck by a light rail train near the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul over the weekend.
The city of Minneapolis and the Metropolitan Council have reached an agreement that may remove a major obstacle to the third leg of the metro area's light rail system.
