Court of Appeals of Oregon May 15, 2003, 00C-15510; A113871 (Robertson v. City of Turner)

SCHUMAN, J.

Plaintiffs brought this action against defendant, the City of Turner, after it closed a hazardous bridge that provided the only motor vehicle access to plaintiffs’ residential property. The trial court granted the city’s motion for summary judgment, holding that, until plaintiffs had pursued a statutory way of necessity against a third party, their claim was not ripe for adjudication.
