Plaintiff sued City for injuries sustained when she tripped and fell into a 5-foot-long pothole when she was returning to her parked car. A portion of her car extended into area with a yellow-painted line indicating a no parking zone due to nearby fire hydrant. Court properly granted summary judgment for City, as Plaintiff was not an intended and permitted user of the street area where she fell. (DELORT, concurring; HARRIS, dissenting.)
