A bicyclist is suing the City of Olathe for $75,000 after crashing on a city trail, according to documents filed in Johnson County District Court earlier this month. According to court documents, Joyce Coker-Dreier was riding her bike along Meadow Lane Trail in September 2021. While riding, Coker-Dreier said she encountered a stretch of wet payment. Even after slowing down, she said her bike fell immediately because “the City allowed algae, mud, and/or other substances to accumulate” on the concrete, making it “extremely slick,” the documents allege. … Coker-Dreier is suing Olathe on four counts of liability and negligence-related claims. She is asking for a trial by jury.
