The cantonal Parliament has beaten all of the left-green concerns to the Wind and to approved 102 64 votes in the planned rose garden tunnel. 1.1 billion Swiss francs to the cost of the construction project; in addition to the 2.3-kilometre-long Tunnel and a new tram connection between the Hardbrücke and Bucheggplatz is planned.
The tram was yesterday from all the bourgeois parties and of the EPP’s existing majority on the Council is something like the green coats for the project. The Tram to take in the future, a large part of commuter traffic, argued the advocates. An Alternative to the Tunnel there. And there is “no rational reason to be against it,” said Sonja Rueff (FDP, Zurich). Her party colleague Christian Schucan (Uetikon am see) added, jam produce more CO2 than smoothly flowing traffic. In addition, electric vehicles need roads in the future.
New in the neighborhood in the front

“Expensive and destructive”
the 56 000 vehicles, which should someday go through the Tunnel were Again a theme. The Bourgeois have had it rejected in the first reading, write the number to the law. The Zurich city Council had announced to reconsider his ” Yes ” to the Tunnel. Meanwhile, city and state councillor. Walker Späh announced yesterday an agreement with the city, among other things, the modalities of the proposed traffic monitoring system defined to be.
The last word is not spoken with the Yes of the Parliament. In the Zurich municipal Council, a municipal referendum is up for discussion. And the VCS announced shortly after yesterday’s decision to take the Referendum against the “expensive, and the city destructive tunnel project”. The project is therefore a high probability to the urn.
