You may need to direct the outflow so that it doesn't kill the grass or possibly dig a French drain. But I would not run the pipe to the curb. I see several possible issues with that. The pipe could clog up in your front yard, pets could drink the water at the curb and get sick, and you don't own the right-of-way, so you may need permission from the county.
