Please state, in detail, what happened that prompted you to file a Notice of Claim Form: I was driving on Highway 280 and I exited off the ramp onto the service road Robbins Street.
I exited off and stayed in the left lane as there was a car coming in the middle lane and that was the only place to be. The light at the intersection was green so I continued at a moderate
speed. As I approached W Territorial Rd I hit a pothole that I could not avoid as I could not go to the right and I did not see it. My tire pressure light came on immediately. Upon further
investigation, the pothole flattened my front left tire and bent the rim of that tire. I had to purchase a new tire entirely.
Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages? The City of Saint Paul is responsible as this is a street defect that needed to be repaired.
But for the city’s inability to repair this pothole, my car would not have been damage. The city has a duty to its citizens to maintain its roads and ensure that accidents like this
do not happen. Additionally, the city filled this pothole a few weeks after the incident, so it is clear that they acknowledged that it was a problem.
Please check the reason that most closely describes the reason for your submitting a claim. Please note the documents that will need to be provided with your completed form.< Photographs
will be accepted. All documents submitted become the property of the City of Saint Paul and shall not be returned.<
