Aussersihl district block
Participation in the conception
2nd forum event
On Saturday, 18 January 2025, the second forum event for the Quartierblock in Aussersihl will take place. This time we meet in the neighborhood, in the Feld gym. In order to offer enough space for all interested parties, there are four time slots, each with the same program. Please register by December 19, 2024.
time slot A, 9.30 - 10.45 a.m.
Time slot B, 11.15 am - 12.30 pm
Based on the feedback from the forum event in November 2024, we have developed the first variants for the district block in Aussersihl. We will present these at the second forum event in January and bring them up for discussion. You are cordially invited to contribute your ideas and concerns.
From 4.15 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. we will open the event room to interested parties without registration.
About this process
Back to all Neighbourhood blocks
Come in: More space for neighbourhood life is being created here
The area in Aussersihl is characterised by small cafés and bars, various culinary offerings, vibrant life and different residents and families. We appreciate the Aussersihl area for very different things. To ensure that we can continue to use these places in a variety of ways in the future, we are starting this area as a pilot project for "neighbourhood blocks". The aim of these is to create more space for neighbourhood life, to prevent creeping traffic, to promote pedestrian and bicycle traffic and to increase road safety, especially on the way to school.
What is a "neighbourhood block"?
"Neighbourhood blocks" comprise several neighbourhood streets and rows of houses. Suitable traffic measures, such as one-way streets or dead ends, will prevent through traffic. The access and departure of residents, employees, delivery traffic, emergency services as well as supply and disposal are guaranteed at all times. In order to upgrade the road space in a relatively short time, flexible elements such as benches, plant troughs and bicycle parking bars are available for the pilot phase. More information about the "neighbourhood blocks" can be found here: Quartierblocks - City of Zurich (stadt-zuerich.ch)
Step by step towards the goal
The "neighbourhood blocks" are being built step by step. At forum events, residents and businesses in the neighbourhood can contribute their ideas, needs and concerns. Selective spatial and traffic adjustments are being examined and the variants for implementation are being coordinated with the local actors. This will be followed by the traffic and selective measures that will enhance the road space. Each "neighbourhood block" is developed according to the situation and together with the stakeholders.
We look forward to welcoming you to the forum events.
