The Platform All for Sesvete, alongside local community representatives, held a press conference at the Ljudevit Posavski overpass in Sesvete to address significant concerns regarding the traffic restoration project underway. With approximately 30,000 vehicles passing through this busy junction daily, the community voices expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of clear traffic solutions and inadequate alternative routes during the restoration process. This oversight is predicted to severely disrupt the daily lives of residents in the area.

Karlo Prelec, the president of the local community board for Sesvetska Sopnica, emphasized that the people of Sopnica would bear the brunt of the traffic re-routing intended to manage congestion. He noted that even in regular traffic conditions, residents struggle to exit their properties due to vehicular delays, which will be exacerbated during the three-month restoration period. This further highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive traffic management plan that prioritizes the safety and accessibility needs of the residents.

The concerns raised by Platform All for Sesvete indicate a larger issue surrounding urban planning and the importance of stakeholder engagement in infrastructural projects. The lack of proper planning could lead to longer-term impacts on the livability of Sesvete and reflect the necessity for city authorities to adopt a more inclusive approach in future initiatives, ensuring that residents' needs and insights are factored in early on to avoid similar pitfalls in urban development workflows.
