Family of boy who died at Gas Works Park drops suit against city after safety changes made

The Johnson family’s lawyers allege that the city has known about the structure’s “hidden dangers” and “decaying climbing elements” for years and failed to take the necessary steps to prevent injuries or deaths, adding that even after Mattheis’s death, the city determined parts of the towers were not structurally sound, and that removing them would promote public health and safety, but that the city “still failed to remedy the problem.”
