Description

I had a bicycle accident and was injured at the sidewalk adjacent to the water fountain in front of city Hall. It was just at dusk. There is a five inch drop down from the fountain area to the adjacent sidewalk that is all but impossible to visually discern especially at night since there is no lighting. The attached pictures were taken the next day and illustrate the illusion of a continuous surface where there is actually a drop. There needs to be lighting at the drop, or it needs to be converted to a ramp or at least marked to be noticed. Go there at night and you will have no doubt. This is dangerous, especially at a place that attracts a lot of pedestrian traffic.
