Unfortunately, this idea was not selected

Unfortunately, the idea did not receive enough votes in the poll and will therefore not proceed to the next phase.

However, the project team and the City of Zurich are reviewing all submitted ideas once again to identify potential synergies with other projects. Perhaps your idea could be implemented even without additional support? Please consider whether you would like to pursue the idea further.

If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

What should be created?
A selected neighbourhood street is to be converted into a "net-zero pilot street". The road is intended to show how it is possible to build a neighborhood street for the (warmer) future: – Pavements and cycle paths should be as permeable as possible and light-coloured, with shade from trees and seating – As little paved area as necessary for deliveries. Where a paved area is built, a solution without fossil materials (without asphalt!) is to be used – Much fewer parking spaces: space for craftsmen, deliveries and rather not for residents (who should not park on the street) – Reserve space for local planting – Goal: Heat reduction and vision of the future.
