Tujunga Wash

Re “Big Tujunga Golf Course Wins OK on 2nd Vote,” April 29.

I find it ironic that the City Council reversed an earlier decision and agreed to allow a golf course project in the environmentally sensitive Tujunga Wash yet voted to spend $250,000 on a 2,000-square-foot room entirely devoted to environmental resource materials just a few miles down the road. So instead of being able to visit and enjoy one of the city’s last remaining wilderness areas, I will now have to pay $50 to step on golf green to see what is left of it, then go down the street to an air-conditioned building and figure out what went wrong. I guess Joni Mitchell was right when she said “They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum.”
