Zurich local council keeps boats away from swimmers

Since the opening of the waterfront in Wollishofen in 2005, the boats of the Lake Zurich Shipping Company have no longer been able to reliably use the wharf in Wollishofen, the city council announced its appeal to the local council.

The swimming area, which is limited by barrier buoys, only includes an area in front of the beach with a shallow water depth in which you can still stand. Anyone who wants to swim often leaves the actual swimming area, said local councilor Markus Knauss (Greens) when he introduced the business. “Dangerous scenes happen. “

To create enough distance between boats and swimmers, a new jetty is being built. This should not extend 14, as before, but now 63 meters into Lake Zurich.

The project was without doubt. It makes sense and the costs are moderate and appropriate, said Andreas Egli (FDP) and Reis Luzhnica (SP), among others, in almost the same words. The local council later unanimously approved the loan.

On the other hand, the SVP suffered a postulate wreck. Their proposal that the city council should also create additional boat spaces when the new pier was built was rejected by 33 yes votes to 77 votes.
