GIVAN, Justice,
concurring in result.
I concur in the result of the majority opinion in affirming the grant of summary judgment in favor of the City of South Bend; however, I disagree with the dictum contained in the majority opinion concerning whether the City has immunity under the Tort Claims Act, § Ind.Code 84-4-16.5-8(6)(7).
As pointed out by the majority opinion, that question was addressed in Greathouse v. Armstrong (1993), Ind., 616 N.E.2d 364. However, in the case at bar, this question was not addressed by either the trial court or the Court of Appeals and is introduced only sua sponte by way of dictum in the majority opinion.
I concur with the manner in which the Court of Appeals and the majority opinion deal with the raised issue of the duty to appellants in this case.
