Due to the Old City Harbour tramway construction on Põhja puiestee near Linnahall, tram services to Kopli will be reorganized until mid-August. Trams No. 2 and 5 will not be in operation, and a temporary tram line No. 1 will serve passengers between the Kopli and Linnahall stops during this period.

The construction of the Old City Harbour tramway along Põhja puiestee near Linnahall is set to disrupt tram services to Kopli from May 3 until mid-August. During the first weekend of May, tram lines No. 1, 2, and 5 will be out of service. From May 6, a temporary tram line No. 1 will operate between Kopli and Linnahall stops.

From the evening of Friday, May 3, at 20.00 until the end of Sunday, May 5, tram service between Kopli and the city centre will be temporarily suspended. During this period, tram lines 1, 2, and 5 will be replaced by shuttle bus line 52 on the segment between Kopli and Mere puiestee. This suspension is due to construction work at the temporary Linnahall stop and the tram turnaround loop at the Skoone Bastion stadium.

The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department is set to construct sidewalks at 30 locations across the city, replacing informal trails or old paved sidewalks now in poor condition.

Last summer, Tallinn launched a public architectural competition seeking a concept for Koidu Street as both a residential street and the main thoroughfare of the Uue-Maailma district. The winning entry, titled "Kohalik (Local)," was designed by the architects Tristan Krevald, Ra Martin Puhkan, Siim Tanel Tõnisson, and Madis Eek of OÜ Stuudio Täna.

According to the regulation of the Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications, the use of studded tires on vehicles is allowed until March 31.

In July last year, Tallinn announced a public architectural competition seeking concepts for Koidu Street as both a residential street and the main street of the Uus Maailm district. Today at 6 PM, a presentation of the top five architectural proposals for the competition will be held at Tallinna Humanitaargümnaasium (Koidu Street 97), aiming to involve local residents in the discussion before the jury makes its final decision.

Starting from February 1, there will be changes to the bus schedules in Tallinn. The changes will affect bus routes number 2, 6, 7, 8, 15, 31, 39, 65, and 73.

To improve traffic flow and safety, the maximum permitted driving speed in the Tallinn city centre will continue to be reduced. The speed limit will be lowered to 40 km/h on Jõe, Pronksi, Liivalaia, and Suur-Ameerika streets, and to 30 km/h on Kaarli puiestee.

This year, Tallinn continues to support projects that enhance residents' environmental awareness and improve gardening opportunities in the city.
