That means we have to step over the hated concrete curb and, since my balance is not too good, I am always afraid of tripping on it.
The issue I brought up in my original post is not about curbs that are higher than the asphalt. My original issue is with the concrete ribbon that lines the paths on both sides. Those ribbons are the same height as the asphalt. It is there to protect the asphalt from degrading and breaking off. It is also nice to have so the landscapers can keep a nice sharp edge along the paths.
