Following the complete renovation of the section of Čufar Street between Miklošič Street and Reselj Street in 2023, we have now concluded the renovation of the remaining stretch, from Reselj Street to Kotnik Street. Čufar Street is now fully pedestrianized, enhancing the quality of life in the area and improving traffic safety. As part of the renovation, we also installed a new drinking fountain and several sprinklers to help cool the area during hot summer days.

The renovated street now features clearly defined areas for pedestrians, cyclists and stationary traffic, it is paved in black and white stone, and we have installed appropriate traffic signage and new public lighting. With intersections, junctions and connections, we implemented measures to calm traffic and improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Additionally, we installed bicycle racks, set up a waste disposal area, placed benches and other street furniture, and planted new trees, shrubs, and greenery.

Special attention was given to the installation of water features, which are especially welcome in the summer heat. We installed a new drinking fountain and seven sprinklers along the street to help cool the environment and provide refreshment to passers-by on hot summer days. Another sprinkler with multiple nozzles and an additional drinking fountain were installed between Kolodvorska and Reselj Street.

At the Ledina Center, we removed deteriorating fenced terraces and canopies from restaurants and replaced them with a unified spatial layout. This has resulted in a more orderly and pleasant appearance and has improved pedestrian circulation.

In front of the Ledina Kindergarten, we created a motor-traffic-free zone and equipped it with playful urban elements: concrete terraces, a multi-purpose concrete surface for chalk drawings and holding events and exhibitions, a wooden terrace and seating. On Reselj Street, next to the kindergarten, we added two more parking spaces and planted new trees. A total of eight short-term parking spaces are now available for parents and guardians, greatly improving safety and accessibility during pick-up and drop-off times.

The central lane of Čufar Street is now fitted with new urban furniture and greenery, and is primarily intended for sitting and relaxation. Side lanes are designated for pedestrian and bicycle traffic, as well as for emergency, delivery and permitted vehicle access via rising bollards. Twelve existing trees were temporarily transplanted during the renovation and then replanted in newly prepared pits with an integrated irrigation system, ensuring better conditions for their growth and development.

The works lasted nine months. The development plan was prepared by the company KRAJINARIS prostorsko načrtovanje, d.o.o., and the contractor was the company KPL d.o.o. The value of the project is just under 1.7 million EUR, excluding VAT, with the City of Ljubljana contributing approximately 566,630 EUR, excluding VAT, with JP Voka Snaga and Energetika Ljubljana as co-investors.
