Future Expansion
In the Limmat Valley, between Bahnhof Altstetten and Bahnhof Killwangen-Spreitenbach, the "Limmattalbahn", a new light rail service (compatible with the Zürich Tram Network and therefore metre gauge) is in planning and should be partially opened by 2020. Since this line would extend into Canton Aargau, there is the possibility of two referenda rejecting the project.
There are also plans for numerous other extensions to be built up to 2025, notably over the Hardbrücke between Hardplatz and the new Tram Zürich West branch at Schiffbau.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“The future is inevitable and precise, but it may not occur. God lurks in the gaps.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
