Please state, in detail, what happened that prompted you to file a Notice of Claim Form. _I was driving on Larpenteur Ave heading home from work and as I drove pass the intersection
of Larpenteur Ave and Jackson St, I drove over a large pothole that took up the whole right lane. The tire on the front right side popped right after I drove over this pothole. It was
hard to avoid as it took up the whole driving lane. ______
Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages? _I feel that the city is responsible for my tire being popped because they oversee fixing the
roads making sure drivers can drive safely to their designated location. The pothole I hit was huge so I’m curious how long it has been there. I feel that potholes this large should
be a priority to patch and should not be ignored or prolonged to patch. It is dangerous and may cause car accidents especially since Larpenteur Ave is a main road in Saint Paul. _______
