Municipality Liability for Altered Public Way Maintenance
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute concerned whether a municipality's statutory duty to maintain public ways applied to a sidewalk that had been intentionally removed and replaced with decorative paving stones by a third party, creating a hazardous condition. The court reasoned that the municipality retained responsibility for the public way despite the alteration because the authority responsible for the street itself cannot delegate its non-delegable duty to maintain the entire public way, including sidewalks, to third parties; therefore, the municipality could be held liable for injuries resulting from the hazardous condition it failed to remedy.
