INITIATING PROBLEM,ISSUE,OPPORTUNITY(Who,Whet,Whee,Where,Why):
Plaintiff Nancy R. Whitefield commenced suit against the City of
Saint Paul for injuries she suffered on November 28, 1988, when she
fell while walking across the driveway in front of the Highland
Park Branch Library at 1974 Ford Parkway. Ms. Whitefield was 55
years old at the time. She claims that the sidewalk and driveway
were covered with an accumulation of ice and compacted snow which
caused her to fall. She said there was no evidence of sandin
ADVANTAOES��F��g or shovelling. The plaintiff sustained a fracture of the
fibula and complains of continuing swelling, discomfort and reduced
range of motion. The library staff testifed that the driveway was
routinely cleared of ice and snow and they had no prior complaints
of any dangerous condition. Our office has settled this claim for
$1,500 and requests Council approval.
