California/Santa Cruz was awesome, with sunny skies and good times, including a nice dirt ride with the Mayor of Drunkingham, Complayna, Basil Hayden, & the Donut Queen. But now it's back to the tundra. Stay tuned for more Action Nooze as the pictures get downloaded and the liver swelling goes downnn... | | |

| Author: | Hurl | | Subject: | Attention K-Mart Shoppers: | | Rant: | Boy, Howdy! The frigid temps have arrived in full force, but don\'t let that deter you from getting in your Holladaze orders. If you hope to receive them in time for X-Mess, however, they must be in no later than this Wednesday, 18 December. And please, DON\'T FORGET TO INCLUDE A SHIPPING ADDRESS! I\'m sitting on two orders here with no shipping info. So if you\'ve recently ordered something from us, but are still awaiting it, please get in touch, esp. if your last name is Klein, or Atkins. If your name is Jeff Bender, buy me a beer. Thank you very much!

‘Midtown Greenway - Hiawatha LRT Trail’
Recently we’ve had series of robbery/assaults on the Midtown Greenway. They’ve occurred in both the 3rd and 5th Precincts at different locations along the trail.
Typically the victim is surrounded and pushed off their bicycle. The attackers are taking wallets, backpacks and purses. Many of the assaults have occurred after dark. Some have occurred during daylight hours. So far the attackers are not stealing the victim’s bicycles.
The suspects have been described by their victims as groups of 2 or 3 younger males. At this time we do not have more specific descriptions of the suspects. It appears that more than one group of suspects may be committing these crimes.
The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating these crimes. Police are doing extra patrol on the Greenway. The Police Dept. met with the Midtown Greenway Coalition to discuss some prevention strategies.
What You Can Do?
- If you can, avoid riding or walking the Greenway after dark.
- Whenever possible ride/walk with others, not alone. You are much safer with a group than you are alone.
- There are “Bluelight” phones at intervals on the Greenway that will connect you directly to 911. Carry a cell phone as well. If you aren’t close to a phone, you can call 911 if you need help.
- Pay attention to your surroundings. If you see people ahead of you, that make you nervous or uncomfortable, exit the Greenway at the nearest ramp.
- If you should be assaulted, try to stay calm. Give the attackers what they want. The more you resist, the more likely it is that you will be injured.
- Be sure to wear a bike helmet while riding. If will reduce you chances of injury considerably.
- When you call 911 give the operator your location. Due to recent changes in our police reporting system, the Greenway is now listed as a street (i.e. Midtown Greenway W. (Nicollet Ave. westward) and Midtown Greenway E. (East of Nicollet to the river). When you riding or walking during daylight hours take some time to familiarize yourself with the addresses of the cross streets over the trail. It will help ensure a quicker police response.
If you have questions please contact Crime Prevention Specialist Don Greeley at the 3rd Precinct – 673-3482 or donald.greeley@ci.minneapolis.mn.us.
