The station square in Schlieren has been transformed into a modern meeting zone that creates space for recreation, encounters and visible mobility. In the center is a spacious square with a striking tree as a green landmark. In front of the city library, a fountain with benches invites people to linger, and new recreational areas have also been created by the SBB West underpass and in front of the restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
A central element is the clear right of way for pedestrians through the meeting zone. Sidewalks have become superfluous and the entire space belongs to public life. Almost 70 new bicycle parking spaces also encourage people to switch from bicycles to public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Green spaces for the urban climate The planting is not only ecologically valuable, but also aesthetically pleasing. The cityscape looks livelier and more inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Grand opening for the public It continues on Saturday from 11.00 am. Local musicians will perform on the stage at Bahnhofsplatz, including the Schlieren music school teachers’ band, Patrick Harbor, the music school choir and Valer\u00f9 with their band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Bahnhofstrasse will be closed to traffic during the festivities. The town belongs to the people this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n A project with a signal effect After around a year of construction, the new meeting zone at Schlieren railroad station has been completed.

<\/strong>An innovative approach to climate adaptation was chosen with the implementation of the sponge city principle. 1,200 m\u00b2 were unsealed to allow rainwater to seep away better. Newly planted trees and around 500 m\u00b2 of additional green space provide shade and evaporation for cooling, especially on hot summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The new meeting zone will be inaugurated with a two-day celebration on Friday and Saturday, June 20 and 21, 2025. The event will kick off with an official speech by City Councillor Stefano Kunz on Friday at 5.00 pm, accompanied by the Harmonie Schlieren band. This will be followed by the street festival with culinary delights and live music, including country artist Tobey Lucas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The pedestrian zone is an example of future-oriented urban development that combines quality of life, climate resilience and mobility. What was initiated by a referendum in 2021 now stands for a new chapter in urban design in Schlieren.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
