Please state, in detail, what happened that prompted you to file a NoLce of Claim Form. ON THE MORNING OF 2/18/2023, I MET
UP WITH A RUNNING CLUB FOR AN 8AM WORKOUT AT EAST RIVER FLATS PARK LOCATED AT 351 EAST RIVER PARKWAY IN
MINNEAPOLIS. AFTER THE GROUP COMPLETED THE WORKOUT, A HANDFUL OF MEMBERS OF THE CLUB, INCLUDING ME, DROVE
TO THE CARIBOU COFFEE LOCATED AT 2134 FORD PARKWAY IN ST. PAUL. AS I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ALONG EAST RIVER
PARKWAY, MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL HIT A POTHOLE LOCATED IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANE. THE LOCATION OF THE POTHOLE WAS
JUST NORTH OF THE SHORTLINE RAILROAD BRIDGE, WHICH ITSELF IS JUST NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF EAST RIVER PARKWAY
AND ST. ANTHONY AVE. THE HUBCAP SEPARATED FROM MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I
PULLED OVER AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST RIVER PARKWAY AND ST. ANTHONY AVE. A MEMBER OF THE RUNNING CLUB
DRIVING BEHIND ME SAW ME HIT THE POTHOLE AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER, WHERE HE HELPED ME RETRIEVE THE
HUBCAP THAT SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. THE RIM OF THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE WAS VISIBLY
BENT FROM THE IMPACT WITH THE POTHOLE. ON 2/28/2023, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED
THAT MY FRONT RIGHT RIM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT, THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE THAT
WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE VEHICLE INSPECTION.
Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages? I ESTIMATE THAT THE POTHOLE WAS AT
LEAST 12” DEEP, 12” WIDE, AND 2 TO 3 FEET LONG. WHEN I WENT TO RETRIEVE THE HUBCAP, I VISUALLY INSPECTED THE
POTHOLE. INSIDE THE POTHOLE, I SAW THE REMAINS OF THE BASE OF AN ORANGE TRAFFIC CONE, WHICH I BELIEVE HAD BEEN
PUT IN OR NEAR THE POTHOLE BY THE CITY AS A WARNING TO MOTORISTS. THE REMAINS OF THE BASE OF THE ORANGE TRAFFIC
CONE INSIDE THE POTHOLE WERE WELL BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE STREET, MAKING IT INVISIBLE UNLESS YOU WERE STANDING
DIRECTLY OVER THE POTHOLE.
15 TO 20 MINUTES AFTER MY VEHICLE HIT THE POTHOLE, ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE RUNNING CLUB WHO WAS DRIVING TO
MEET THE GROUP AT THE CARIBOU OFF OF FORD PARKWAY PASSED THE SITE OF THE POTHOLE, WHERE HE NOTICED THERE WAS A
DISABLED VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. HE CALLED THE CITY OF ST. PAUL AND REPORTED THE POTHOLE, AND THE CITY
EMPLOYEE REPORTED THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE POTHOLE AT THAT LOCATION.
BASED ON THE INFORMATION ABOVE, I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY OF ST. PAUL WAS AWARE IN ADVANCE OF THE POTHOLE ON EAST
RIVER PARKWAY THAT DAMAGED MY VEHICLE, BUT TOOK INADEQUATE MEASURES TO A) WARN MOTORISTS OF THE UNSAFE
ROAD CONDITIONS AND B) REPAIR THE POTHOLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
