Key legal question
Whether the road alignment via the planned route instead of the existing Rottenstrasse was lawful.
Extracted holding
The chosen alignment was a permissible compromise after weighing traffic, safety, land-use, heritage, and environmental interests.
Extracted reasoning
The court deferred to the cantonal assessment on local and technical matters, found that many variants had been examined, and held that Lonza's interests largely matched public interests in traffic reduction and direct highway connection.
