,Tanuary 23, 1975 PIERRE N. REGNIER
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel L. Ficker Q. L_`�-.
SUBJECT: Claim of Patricia Galvin and Joseph Galvin
The claim of Patricia Galvin and Joseph Galvin arose
out of an incident on April 23, 19?1 when Patricia
Galvin was jogging along the public sidewalk that
extends across the "Ford Spur" railroad tracks belonging
to the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad
Company just north of the intersection of Prior Avenue
and Return Court. Approximately two and one-half months
prior to the incident a chain length fence had been
erected across the sidewalk in an attempt to prevent
school children attending Homecroft School from using
the sidewalk and forcing them to use the newly constructed
pedestrian bridge just north of the school. The sidewalk
crossing the tracks was not vacated by action of the
Council. Patricia Galvin ran into the top rail of the
fence while jogging, apparently not seeing the rail because
the fabric had been removed by vandals and because of
the time of the day and her concern about a passing car.
She sustained injuries to her nose resulting in a slight
disfigurement. The railroad is contributing one-half of
the settlement amount of $900.00, and I would recommend
that the Council authorize payment of the other one-half.
