Harden v. The City of Chicago

Court properly granted summary judgment for City in personal injury action from pedestrian who slipped and fell on large metal plate when crossing street in falling snow and heavy pedestrian traffic. Plaintiff was not an intended user of street outside of a marked crosswalk. City's intent that pedestrians use marked crosswalk was not altered by presence of snow, regardless of whether crosswalk lines were not visible because of snow. (PALMER and TAYLOR, concurring.)
