and heaved sidewalk while walking near 1940 VPellesley Avenue, in
St. Paul. Mrs. Donahue claimed she fell faee-first, sustaining
numerous injuries to her face, mouth and body. Plaintiff was on

the sidewalk on Wellesley. From the fact of st�ch repairs, as well
as the fact that the City had installed a handicap-access area at
the corner of Prior and Wellesley, before 9/4�'89, thereby putting
the City directly on the scene of plaintiff's accident, it would
appear arguable that the City had notice of any defect in this
general area. In addition, plaintiff claims she and at least two
