Local community issues reported in Petrčane and Zagreb

In Petrčane, residents are expressing frustration over ongoing traffic issues. Despite recent interventions by the City of Zadar, including the marking of parking spaces and the installation of bollards, locals claim the situation has worsened. Residents report that these measures have merely shifted parking problems to the opposite side of the road, narrowing the thoroughfare and making it difficult for vehicles to pass one another. There are growing concerns regarding road safety and the ability of emergency services to navigate the area, with citizens calling for a comprehensive traffic plan rather than cosmetic fixes.

In Zagreb, a resident of the Kustošija neighborhood has launched a small-scale community initiative to improve local park cleanliness. Due to a lack of trash bins in the park near the railway, the individual created DIY ashtrays using old glass jars to discourage littering. The initiative, which cost only the price of a glass jar and thirty minutes of labor, has received praise from local community members on social media.
