It highlights concerns raised by pedestrian advocates like Marionna Schlatter, who argue that e-scooters block footpaths, cause accidents, and lack environmental benefits. The Federal Office of Statistics reports an 18% increase in severe injuries involving e-scooters in the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, transportation expert Carsten Hagedorn argues that e-scooters can make public transit more attractive by reducing travel time. The debate centers on balancing mobility needs with safety and urban space.

SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 85Objective 759/1/2026 Development up to 2050 Zoo Zurich is planning new habitats and a car parkThe Zurich Zoo has announced plans for significant development by 2050, including new habitats for penguins and orangutans, as well as the construction of a parking garage. The zoo, working with the city and canton, has developed a new cantonal planning concept that outlines future developments. A major aspect of this plan involves changing the current surface-level parking areas into underground parking spaces, reducing existing 1200 spots and relocating them to a new underground car park beneath a neighboring sports field. This change aims to create more green space around the zoo. Additionally, traffic will be limited with a cap of 480,000 annual visits, and excess vehicles would be directed to a central parking facility. The zoo is also exploring tram extensions and cable cars to improve public transport access. New animal enclosures, such as the Ndoki Forest for endangered African species, are part of the broader infrastructure upgrades.
