Two councillors from the Young Greens are calling for a ban on billboard advertising for off-road vehicles in the city of Zurich. They want the city council to amend the contract with APG and ban advertising for heavy off-road vehicles on public property, reports the commuter newspaper "20 Minuten". On Wednesday, Bastien Girod and Markus Knauss from the Young Greens submitted an urgent postulate in support of the Green Party's popular initiative against off-roaders.
The large vehicles have been a thorn in Girod's side for some time now. For months, he and other off-road vehicle opponents have been affixing anti-off-roader stickers to corresponding vehicles in the city of Zurich. As Beat Holenstein, head of APG Zurich, explained to "20 Minuten", the proposed ban is a massive discrimination against the billboard medium and an unheard-of interference in the market economy.
