Jutarnji listIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 708 days ago Taxi drivers urinating in bushes, pedestrians breaking through fencing: This is the street outside an elite hotelThe article describes the deteriorating condition of Koturaška Street in central Zagreb, highlighting the contrast between the city's urban development efforts and the neglect of certain areas. It notes that taxi drivers urinate in bushes and pedestrians struggle through overgrown vegetation and debris, despite recent infrastructure improvements aimed at improving pedestrian access. The street runs close to major landmarks like the main train station, Hotel Esplanade, and the City Hall. The area includes land owned by the state, the city, private individuals, and companies, but many parcels appear abandoned or neglected. The article discusses past planning decisions, such as shifting the sidewalk to the southern side of the street to accommodate more space for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, yet the implementation has led to new challenges, including unsafe conditions for pedestrians. Some areas have poorly maintained waste disposal sites and unregulated dumping, raising questions about legality and responsibility.

Jutarnji listIndependentCenter3 hr. ago He's being sent to the cafe by the police and the inspection, the situation is absurd: "We pay everything properly, and we're in exile"A coffee shop called VivasBar in Zagreb has been forced to store its waste containers on its private parking space due to a dispute with building co-owners over access to a shared waste bin. The situation has persisted for nearly two years after a co-owner reportedly asked them to remove their container from the shared area, claiming they had no right to keep it there. VivasBar claims they have fulfilled all obligations to the buildings and the City of Zagreb but were not offered an alternative location. According to documentation provided by VivasBar, Zagreb Holding (which includes the sanitation service Čistoća) confirmed that the waste bins could legally be placed on the coffee shop’s private parking spot under certain conditions. However, this arrangement has led to complaints from some co-owners, and similar issues exist at another nearby business, Studenac, which also stores its waste container outside its premises. VivasBar aims to find a permanent solution while avoiding further conflict with the building owners.
