Tomorrow [Tuesday] the City Council will hear an appeal dealing with the Entrada’s installation of plastic grass rather than real grass in a large open space.
It will be interesting to see if the City Council favors the use of plastic grass for real grass for this project and how this might affect other projects in the future.
For anyone interested in this, it is item 15 on tomorrows City Council Agenda.

It HAS to be real grass. I’m all for conservation. All the city needs to do is to permit one less apartment unit, one-bedroom condo, or a single hotel room. I’d rather see a dirt lot rather than plastic grass.
Plastic is bad for the ground and environment. We live too much in a plastic world. Lets stay real and organic as much as possible.
Plastic grass is good for the ground and environment and saves on water. Plastic people don’t do well on organic ground covers.
It’s none of the City Council’s business, unless it is on city-owned land.
Let’s just pave it. So we can look like Ventura.
Can we get some plastic dog poop to decorate the plastic grass?
I agree with Landshark.
Private property – private decision.
No wonder the City has no time to fix the streets or other problems. Next they will tell you what color to paint your bathroom – item 3 on next week’s agenda.
Decades ago I watched as local governments in So. Cal. started “planting” plastic shrubs, grass and trees in medians as a cost savings effort. The turned pink and violet in a few years and were incredibly ugly–looked like planet Altair. Anyway, about a decade back we saw plastic “grass” come into favor again. It came apart at the seams, one couldn’t clean it without water and it cost bucks and land fill to remove. Let’s just accept that on planet Earth we should have a biologically appropriate environment. The only ones who seem to benefit from this continual plastic push is big oil and people who are conned into buying this inevitably awful product (often with government subsidies–ugh).
