Participation in the conception
2nd forum event
On Saturday, 25 January 2025, the second forum event for the neighbourhood block in Unterstrass will take place. This time we meet in the neighborhood, in the Riedtli sports pavilion. In order to be able 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
Time Slot C, 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
PM Time Slot D, 2:45 PM - 4:00 PM
Based on the feedback from the forum event in November 2024, we have developed the first variants for the quarter block in Unterstrass. 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.
About this process
Back to all Neighbourhood blocks
Come on in: More space for neighbourhood life
is being created here The area between Irchelpark and Riedtlistrasse in the Unterstrass district is very popular with families. It is characterized by many non-profit apartments and historic terraced houses and there are numerous daycare centers. Commercial and shopping facilities are located on the major roads that surround the area. Scheuchzerstrasse, a popular cycling route, winds its way through the district. The aim of the "neighbourhood blocks" pilot project is to give neighbourhood life more space, prevent creeping traffic, promote walking and cycling and 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.
