Traffic

The city of Zurich is planning to extend the green phase on Hardstrasse.

Safety at Hardplatz remains an issue, but solutions are difficult due to service traffic (garbage, emergencies).

Thank you so much for your participation in the last visit day and parents' café! We are very grateful for the many cakes you brought.

Best regards
