Playground PIP is made with synthetic rubber & can include tire crumb rubber. Synthetic rubber is made from petroleum & comes with concerns nearly identical to plastic grass. But even without tires, warranties are 7-10 yr.s because cracks develop & it releases pieces, including microplastics. Y oung kids may eat it. It's not recyclable.
Worn PIP can't be repurposed, it's difficult to downcycle (mechanical recycling) & destructive disposal, a.k.a. pyrolysis (uses high heat), is highly polluting.

This Action to allow deferred park-in lieu fees should not go forward without 1) a maximum deferral period, at which time fees are due if not paid earlier (6 months after project end? 1 year?); 2) added interest, though perhaps low - say 2.5 to 3 % annually.
