Trams in Altstetten: Present alignment to be retained

— but sometimes common sense can still prevail. Zürich's executive council (Stadtrat) has bowed to people power from inhabitants of Altstetten who wanted to keep the trams running on Lindenplatz. As part of the Limmatalbahn project, planners were proposing to re-route it via Bahnhof Altstetten, leaving the centre of Altstetten without a tram service. The compromise will see Limmattalbahn run to Bahnhof Altstetten and route 2 continue on its present course.
