Government Plaza Station serves the Blue and Green Line light rail routes in downtown Minneapolis, operated by Metro Transit. Located near the Hennepin County Government Center, the stop provides connections toward St. Paul, the Mall of America, and Target Field. The entrance shown here was boarded up along its glass panels during a period of civil unrest in the city in 2021.
