Syllabus

TORTS – MUNICIPAL – NEGLIGENCE – IMMUNITY – R.C. 2744.02: Under R.C. 2744.02, defendant city was immune from tort liability for an injury allegedly caused by its negligent maintenance of a downtown sidewalk, and thus was entitled to judgment on the pleadings. The maintenance of sidewalks is a governmental function covered by the general grant of immunity in R.C. 2744.01(C), and plaintiff could not invoke the \public roads\ exception to the general grant of immunity because sidewalks are not public roads under First District precedent and the plain language of R.C. 2744.01(H).
