Claim of Michelle Schreiber
SUBJECT:
The above claim is a result of a vehicle hitting a spray paint can which was located on
Brown Street in the vicinity of the City construction site on Van Buren Street.
The type of paint indicated is typical of that used by the .City Engineering Division for
surveying on construction projects. I don't think this is a typical"object in the street"
claim, since the loss of the spray can in the City street was not a natural condition,
and was due to the negligence of the City.
Please let me know if you need any additional clarification on this situation.
