The gray urinal at Zurich's Bürkliplatz is now to remain as part of the redesign of the Stadthaus complex: On Wednesday evening, the municipal council passed a corresponding postulate, which should also benefit people who pee.
The redesign of the Stadthaus complex itself was completely undisputed in the debate. The municipal council approved the requested credit of CHF 12.9 million by 112 votes to 0.
However, the fact that the city council wanted to demolish the urinal building was incomprehensible to a majority. They voted 77 to 35 in favor of retaining it.
The FDP and GLP postulate stated that a urinal excluded half of the population. However, sitting urinators would also have to wait less if a separate urinal was available for standing urinators. The majority also feared that if the urinal was removed without replacement, the number of people peeing would increase.
