Janković is trying to prevent another uprising over parking.

The City of Ljubljana proposes a new parking policy allowing residents of residential areas to rent monthly parking spaces in municipal parking buildings for €50. This would replace the requirement for residents in zones 2 and 3 to have a signed rental agreement for a parking space in order to obtain a parking permit. The proposal includes adding two new parking buildings, Litijska Pesarska and Celovški dvori, to the system, offering 91 and 154 spaces respectively. The policy has sparked controversy, particularly in neighborhoods like Štepanjsko, where a civil initiative opposed the plan. A recent referendum on the parking regulation failed to meet the required quorum. Mayor Zoran Janković stated that the city would not implement further changes to the parking regime in residential areas during his term.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the proposed policy objectively, including both the proposal by the city administration and the opposition from local residents and initiatives. It does not favor one side over the other, providing balanced information about the policy’s implications and the public reaction.

The city of Ljubljana is proposing changes to its parking regulations, which would allow residents in certain areas to rent parking spaces in designated buildings for 50 euros per month. The proposal aims to remove a condition requiring residents to have a signed rental agreement for a parking space in order to obtain a parking permit in zones 2 and 3. This change would enable residents to apply for permits for multiple vehicles while still having access to rented parking spaces if they have a contract. The process and costs for obtaining parking permits remain unchanged. Additionally, the city council plans to update the regulation defining public parking areas where fees apply, adding two new parking buildings, Litijska Pesarska and Celovški dvori, with 91 and 154 parking spots respectively. The proposed changes come after significant public opposition, including a failed referendum initiated by the Civic Initiative for Ljubljana, which sought to challenge the current parking regime. Mayor Zoran Janković has stated that the city will not implement further changes to the parking system in residential areas during his term.
