Liechtenstein

A referendum on building an approach road for an industrial zone in Schaan was held in Liechtenstein on 14 March 2010. The proposal was approved by 52% of voters.[1]

Background

On 18 November 2009 the Landtag voted 18–7 to spend 15 million francs on an approach road for an industrial zone in Schaan.[1] The road would be 1.4km long, although 75% of the route was already roadway. A separate cycle and pedestrian path would also be created alongside the road.[2]

The Free List and Transport Club Liechtenstein (VCL) believed it to be the first step in attempts to build a bypass and started an attempt to force a referendum. Between 29 November and 23 December they collected 1,257 signatures, surpassing the requirement of 1,000 in article 66 of the constitution.[1]

Results

Due to an error in the count, the reported total number of votes was lower than the sum of the valid and invalid votes.[1]
