The City of Tallinn is taking the next step in building a new tram line – preparations for the construction of the Pelguranna tram line are moving into the design phase. The new line will serve the neighborhoods of Pelguranna, Sitsi, Pelgulinn, Karjamaa, and Kalamaja, providing fast and convenient connections to the city center. It will also improve mobility options for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Tallinn City Government has submitted a draft decision to the City Council to establish the Astangu-Mäeküla local nature reserve. The planned reserve in the Haabersti district will cover nearly 158 hectares.

The newly opened section now features pedestrian and bicycle paths, playgrounds and sports facilities, lighting, and much more to make moving through the urban space pleasant and safe.

From today until 22 September, all Tallinn residents aged 14 and older can cast their votes for up to three of their favorite ideas to be implemented in their district.

Tallinn is developing a modern, people-friendly, and green Main Street along Narva maantee and Pärnu maantee, stretching from the Jõe–Pronksi intersection to Vabaduse väljak. Locals are invited to join a public discussion on 11 June at 17:30 at Nordic Hotel Forum, where the city will present an overview of the feedback received so far.

Tallinn is working together with the local community to redesign Ristiku and Härjapea streets, aiming to create a modern, green, and inclusive street space. A public discussion on Ristiku Street will take place on 10 June at 17:30 at Ristiku põhikool.

This year, the City of Tallinn will install more benches than usual, primarily to improve independent mobility for the elderly. New benches will be added not only to the streets of the city centre and other districts but also to parks and green spaces.

In July last year, reconstruction began on the Kadaka puiestee bridge in Tallinn, which had reached the end of its service life and become structurally unsafe. As of Monday, the new bridge will be complete and open to traffic. Public transport will return to its regular routes in the first half of next week.

Construction works on Odra Street are nearing completion, and the street will be reopened to traffic starting Monday, 19 May. Bus routes 54 and 67 will also return to their normal routes.

As part of Tallinn’s participatory budget initiative “A City Created Together,” 314 original ideas were submitted and will be introduced during public discussions taking place in all city districts from 21 May to 5 June.
