Description
Entrance to Nuese River Trail should be biker friendly as I bent my mountain Trek bike rear tire on curb that is raised 4 inches from road surface. At the very least there needs to be a yellow warning paint stripe.

City of Raleigh,
Your response to Mr. Morgan did not address his point that you are in non-compliance with the NC State standard safety regulations: the City is more than likely susceptible to future liabilities by leaving the door open for more injuries and damages if this is not addressed in a timely manner. This matter needs to be dealt with urgently.

The Parks and Recreation Department has responded. We have painted the curbs with safety yellow paint.
Thank you!
