How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding town not reckless in failing to repair dangerous bikeway even though it knew of missing drain covers
• finding evidence of municipality’s persistent failure to replace a manhole cover over a eight-inch drain in a tunnel on a bikeway did not warrant a finding of reckless conduct
• missing drain covers and persistent failure to fix lighting in bike tunnel did not give rise to risk of death or grave bodily injury even where defendants knew of such defects
• defendant’s persistent failure to remedy known defects in bike tunnel did not constitute wilful, wanton, or reckless conduct
• governmental unit not reckless even though it persistently failed to-remedy defects on a traveled bikeway
• reckless conduct involves risks so pronounced that “compared to negligence, there is not just a difference in degree but also a difference in kind”
