Curbs?

The main street in our little town is getting some improvement.  I am not sure what exactly "improvements" taking place - except that - drainage - re-surfacing street. During the town hall meeting, the "ribbon" "standard" curbs were used loosely. What is a ribbon curb?

Is "ribbon curb" a strip of flat, slightly dip/curved edge along side of paved street that assist drainage?

Is "standard curb" a "L shaped" bump with lower dip corner for drainage?
