Please state, in detail, what happened that prompted you to file a Notice of Claim Form:
I was driving to work at approximately 7:00 AM on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. I drove into an
enormous pothole that was filled with rainwater and not visible because it was still dark outside.
Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages?
There were no traffic cones to mark this area. After the incident I emailed the parking and
transportation department of the University of Minnesota and asked them to put traffic cones at that
location so this didn’t happen to anyone else. On my way home that night I saw that traffic cones had
been added.
What would you like to see happen to resolve this claim to your satisfaction?
The damage to my tire was beyond repair so it could not be patched. Because my vehicle is all wheel
drive they could not replace just one tire, so I was forced to purchase four new tires. I called three auto
repair services/tire shops and was told the same thing at each shop. I would like to be reimbursed for all
four tires: $821.28
