Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was admissible under federal road-funding law
Extracted holding
No. The challenged judgment was based exclusively on cantonal law; the federal road-financing statute did not confer an enforceable right to canton contributions or block the cantonal allocation of road ownership and maintenance duties.
Extracted reasoning
The federal statute regulates the distribution of road-funding resources between federal tasks and cantonal tasks, but not the internal allocation of burdens within a canton. The canton remained free to designate the competent local authority.
