We showed you Monday the 14-foot drop only four feet from the sidewalk.
Today, the City came out and put up an orange fence to warn bikers and runners of the dangerous slope.
Concrete slabs were dumped down the side of the drop off to help with eroding when the Shunga's water rises.
That is a temporary fence.
We will keep you updated with the process of permanently fixing that drop off.
See our original story about the big drop off here.
