Spur Line Trail

[panamaniac]

I feel the "closing" of the trail is to defer responsibility for providing safety. A man died on the Iron Horse trail because of the lack of lighting, and people are constantly injuring themselves at the rail road crossing : http://www.therecord.com/news-story/2582...rse-trail/ . IANAL, but I imagine the city can defer blame to the victim for riding on a "closed" trail. It doesn't look like the family of the deceased victim ever sued the city.

I'm not sure how this extends to policing responsibility. I feel the same victim blaming can be used as a defence for people that are assaulted during closed hours.

I couldn't swear to it, but I believe that the trail, like the Park, is patrolled at night, at least occasionally.
