A coalition advocating for sustainable transportation policy has expressed strong criticism towards a proposed garage building near Krvavec, located on the slopes of Planina Jezerca. The project, which includes a three-level basement structure with parking space for approximately 700 vehicles, has been deemed unsound and inconsistent with Alpine conventions by the group. According to a preliminary spatial plan released by the urbanist bureau, the building would be the highest such structure in Slovenia, situated at an elevation of over 1,400 meters above sea level. The coalition argues that there is no evidence of a comprehensive study assessing actual needs, traffic impacts, or alternative solutions aimed at reducing reliance on private vehicles in the area. This stance was echoed by Katarina Žemlja of Cipra Slovenia, which coordinates the coalition. She pointed out that while other local communities across the Alps implement measures to protect nature and reduce traffic in sensitive mountainous regions, the community of Jezerca and the Municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem are planning a garage building instead. The coalition’s concerns extend beyond environmental impact. They claim that the rationale for constructing the garage is not justified, particularly given its projected capacity, exceeding that of the parking facility at Congress Square in Ljubljana. Furthermore, they argue that the project fails to align with the municipality's own mobility strategy, which aims to increase public transport usage through new routes to Krvavec and connections to nearby towns. The municipal sustainability development strategy from 2021–2030 also emphasizes reducing dependence on personal cars, promoting sustainable tourism, and preserving nature as key priorities. Despite these strategic goals, the coalition claims that the detailed spatial plan submitted by the municipality does not reflect these objectives. Instead, it suggests increasing parking capacity as the primary solution for access to Krvavec, rather than implementing a holistic approach to mobility management. Additionally, the proposed garage construction appears to conflict with protocols under the Alpine Convention, which requires assessments of the significance of interventions, their environmental impacts, and verification of sustainable alternatives before expanding parking spaces for private vehicles. Both the manager of the ski resort RTC Krvavec and the Slovenian Mountain Association have raised concerns about the potential burden on high-altitude areas caused by the construction. The coalition has also criticized the Ministry of Environment and the Slovenian Environmental Protection Institute for relying on an environmental report from 2009, despite increased visitation and traffic since then. These institutions have not required a reassessment of the impact on protected areas, according to the coalition. In response, the coalition has recommended halting the current process for preparing the spatial plan until independent expert studies are conducted on traffic feasibility, environmental effects, water resources, and a thorough evaluation of sustainable alternatives such as public transport, car-sharing systems, and visitor management models used successfully in neighboring Italy. The coalition has also submitted feedback during the public disclosure phase of the spatial plan to the municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem.

Gorenjski glasNeovisanProgresivnoČinjenice 95Objektivnost 85prekjučerU članku se raspravlja o kritici Koalicije za politiku održivog kretanja u vezi s predloženim projektom izgradnje garaže na Planini Jezerci pod Krvavec. Projekt, koji bi mogao primiti oko 700 vozila, nazvan je "nerazumnim", "prekomjernim" i u suprotnosti s Alpskom konvencijom. Kritičari tvrde da ne postoji sveobuhvatna studija stvarnih potreba, utjecaja prometa ili alternativnih rješenja koja bi mogla smanjiti ovisnost o privatnim vozilima. Oni ističu da su lokalna zajednica i općina Cerklje na Gorenjskem postavili ciljeve povećanja korištenja javnog prijevoza i promicanja održivog turizma, ali projekt ignorira te ciljeve fokusirajući se isključivo na proširenje parkiranja. Koalicija također ističe da izgradnja nije u skladu s ekološkim protokolima Alpske konvencije, koji zahtijevaju procjenu utjecaja na okoliš i razmatranje održivih alternativa.
Procjena pristranosti (Progresivno): U članku se navodi da je predložena garažna zgrada štetna za okoliš i u suprotnosti s regionalnim ciljevima održivosti, te se naglašava potreba za ekološkom odgovornošću i javnim prijevozom u odnosu na korištenje privatnih vozila.
Zašto činjenice (95): The article provides specific details about the proposed garage house, including three basement levels and a ground-level parking area, citing the Urban Planning Office as the source. It also references the size of the structure compared to the Kongresni trg parking garage in Ljubljana and mentions
Zašto objektivnost (85): The article presents the concerns raised by the coalition in a critical tone but does not explicitly take sides beyond reporting their objections. However, it uses phrases like 'nesmotrn' (unreasonable) and 'predimenzioniran' (overdimensioned) which may imply judgment rather than neutrality. The ove
DnevnikNeovisan🔒SredinaČinjenice 85Objektivnost 75prekjučerPredložena višeslojna struktura parkirališta na planini Jezerca ispod planine Krvavec pokrenula je raspravu između općine Cerklje na Gorenjskem i zagovornika okoliša. Općina predstavlja projekt kao nužan za upravljanje kaotičnim parkiranjem i zaštitu vodnih izvora, dok Koalicija za održivu prometnu politiku kritizira nedostatak profesionalnog opravdanja i tvrdi da projekt proturječi načelima održive mobilnosti.
Procjena pristranosti (Sredina): U članku su predstavljene obje perspektive - podrška lokalne općine koja naglašava potrebe za infrastrukturom i zaštitom okoliša i protivljenje zagovornika održivosti koji naglašavaju ekološke probleme.
Zašto činjenice (85): The article accurately reports the controversy around the planned multi-story garage building on Planina Jezerca under Krvavec, mentioning both the municipality's stance and the coalition's concerns. It references the visualizations by the Coalition for Sustainable Mobility Policy and quotes officia
Zašto objektivnost (75): The article presents both sides of the argument but leans slightly towards the municipality's perspective by quoting the mayor and emphasizing the 'chaotic parking' issue. While it includes criticism from the coalition, the tone remains somewhat supportive of the local government's position.
Slovenske noviceNeovisanProgresivnoprije 1 hPašna Skupnost Jezerca i Općina Cerklje na Gorenjskem planiraju izgraditi garažnu zgradu s više od 700 parkirnih mjesta na planini Krvavec. Koalicija za politiku održivog kretanja (KTPP) protivi se ovom projektu, tvrdeći da je u suprotnosti s Alpskom konvencijom i ciljevima vlastite prometne strategije općine, čiji je cilj smanjenje ovisnosti o automobilu i povećanje javnog prijevoza. Predloženi razvoj zaustavili su upravitelj skijališta i planinarsko udruženje zbog ekoloških zabrinutosti. Gradonačelnik Čebulj Franc objašnjava da projekt ima za cilj zaštitu vodnih resursa i uključuje obnovu kanalizacijskih sustava. KPPT kritizira nedostatak sveobuhvatnih studija o potražnji za prometom, utjecajima i održivim alternativama, navodeći da bi kapacitet premašio slične strukture u Sloveniji i mogao postati najviša takva zgrada na 1.400 metara iznad razine mora.
Procjena pristranosti (Progresivno): U članku se protivljenje izgradnji garaže prikazuje kao sukob između lokalnih interesa i širih ciljeva zaštite okoliša i održivosti.
