The Parents’ Council of the Schwarzenburg community draws up an annual plan with the recommended routes to school, as the community writes in a statement. This recommendation is based on criteria and assessments by the members of the parents’ council and on discussions with the cantonal police traffic instructor. In response to the merging of all kindergarten classes into the Schlossgasse school complex in the summer of 2019, the local council decided to have the parents’ council’s route to school recommendation reviewed more closely.

During this review, six areas with the greatest risk and conflict potential were examined together with a safety expert from the Advice Center for Accident Prevention (bfu). The local council has approved a supplementary loan of 24,000 francs to improve school route safety in the Schlossgasse, Wyssthanweg and Herrengässli areas.

Civil Engineering and Environment Department

To support the construction department in the areas of civil engineering and the environment, external mandates are needed to bridge the vacant positions. The local council has approved an additional loan of 84,000 francs for this purpose.

Sensetal fig

In collaboration with Ara Sensetal, the controls for the wastewater systems have been constantly modernized over the past few years. Regular maintenance and inspections of rain retention basins, small sewage treatment plants and pumping stations by trained specialists are essential to protect groundwater and avoid incidents.

The local council has approved the collaboration with Ara Sensetal, which ensures that these investments are sustainably protected and that the systems can be operated efficiently and without disruption.

Albligen waste collection site and drainage renovation

There is a waste disposal collection point for the village population in the parking area of ​​the former community center in Albligen. The fractions are collected in special containers or skips and disposed of by third-party companies.

However, the existing storage no longer complies with today’s guidelines and requires mandatory structural adjustments to the site drainage. The local council has approved an additional loan of 15,000 francs to ensure the continued operation of the disposal collection point.

After the renovation, the villagers of Albligen can continue to dispose of green waste, used glass, clothes and coffee capsules at the collection point. The collection facilities for waste oil and tinplate fractions will be abolished.

Community meeting on June 10th

According to Article 34 of the election and voting regulations of the community of Schwarzenburg, the minutes of the community meeting will be made public for 20 days. The minutes were published from Thursday, June 27th to July 17th. No objections were received. The local council approved the minutes at the meeting on September 16th.

After the municipal assembly approved the loan for replacing the municipal vehicle in the accident in November 2023 (Platform J reported), the committee formed by the municipal council evaluated the vehicle requirements and carried out the submission process. The municipality of Hasliberg writes this in a statement.

In the meantime, a used Bucher BO200 was purchased as a temporary solution. Just in time for the upcoming winter, Garage Wehren AG was able to take delivery of the new Reform Muli T10X HybridShift municipal vehicle and trade in the Bucher BO200 at the same time.

In 2005, Platform J also reported on the handover of the municipal vehicle at the time by “Samichlaus”.

Cantonal sectoral plan for cycle path network

As part of the public participation process, the local council is committed to ensuring that, despite the planned expansion of the Brünigpass road, the Brünigpass – Hasliberg Hohfluh – Meiringen cycling route is maintained in order not to lose the connection to the Swiss cycling region.

Renovation of Weissenfluhstrasse

As planned in the investment program, the renovation of the first stage of Weissenfluhstrasse will begin next year. So that the loan application can be submitted to the community meeting on November 27th, Mätzener & Wyss Bauingenieure AG was commissioned to develop the project.

Window replacement multi-purpose building

Christian and Werner von Bergen AG was commissioned to replace windows in various adjoining rooms in the multi-purpose building Urseni 331c.

City of Bern | October 3, 2024

Because the Ka-We-De is being renovated, only the Weyermannhaus artificial ice rink and the PostFinance Arena are open in winter. They start their season on Saturday or at the end of October and have to plan well due to the bottlenecks.

In Bern, the Weyermannhaus artificial ice rink starts its winter season next Saturday. The PostFinance Arena will be open from October 26th, as the city of Bern announced on Wednesday. For the next two winter seasons, only these two artificial ice rinks will be available to the public. The Ka-We-De is being renovated and is expected to reopen at the start of the 2026/2027 ice season.

An occupancy plan was drawn up for the available ice surfaces. The city announced that this should ensure the clubs’ games and training operations and at the same time ensure a maximum of free ice skating and hockey games for the public. In the Weyermannshaus, both ice rinks will be iced at the same time for the first time at the start of the season. Previously this was done in stages.
