In the future, anyone who wants a long-term parking card will have to prove that they cannot park their car privately. Bourgeois politicians do not want to swallow these and other tightenings for car owners.

–Parking in Winterthur will change, but how? The local council has discussed the details, but the decision has to be made by the people.

Winterthur will become the area-wide blue zone – only a few peripheral areas and the outer guards are excluded. The implementation is currently a hot topic, for example in Breitenquartier. But the principle is not shaken – the municipal council approved the implementation in September 2019. This is with the intention of protecting the residents from parking pressure from commuters.
Instead, a whole new question was raised in the city parliament on Monday evening: Who is actually entitled to a long-term parking card for the blue zone? Previously, residents had automatically received a permit (and the corresponding invoice) for every redeemed car if they regularly parked it on the street. The permit must be applied for again.
