This is gestural though, no? The cost of maintaining the grass to be that short and not riddled by weeds would be like maintaining a golf course. Maybe they have a grass mowing train? That would be fun.

There are plenty of grass varieties that stay short and choke out competing weeds so maintenance is low.

Here in Colorado, the availability of water tends to be an issue, and I know it’s the same in other parts of the country. I don’t think this grass thing would be a good idea here.

I’m fairly sure those are trams, not trains.
Trams run through busy pedestrian areas all the time. They’re just like a bus service, only on rails. They’re not high-speed and – while it does happen sometimes – people rarely get hit by them. They soon learn not to dawdle on the tracks!
I really like the idea of having the tramlines go over grass. It would make little difference to the upkeep of the city if they have a lot of grassy areas to maintain.

It’s beautiful! Perhaps we should blanket train tracks with lawns – at least that’ll create a lot of jobs for gardeners. Maybe if we’re lazy, we can use astroturf … Same effect from a distance without all that mowing.

Colorado should plant native vegetation. Turf grass obviously ought to be avoided there.

Actually not for cutting down on pollution or heat. Instead it´s a (visually pleasing) way to cut down on noise.
