Controversial Trace Removal – Bellerivestrasse: That’s in Wolff’s Secret Report

Two studies that have been kept under lock and key show the effects of the planned trace reduction. The prophecy is a “heavily loaded traffic situation.”

Do two out of four: According to the Zurich city council, the Bellerivestrasse will become a two-lane test between Kreuzstrasse and Tiefenbrunnen station.
