By Tuesday evening, 15,922 voters had cast their votes in Tallinn polling places, which is a little over half of the people who had voted in polling places all over Estonia.
Caused by a major water leakage on the corner of Mere puiestee and Ahtri street, the traffic of tram line No. 1 is currently stopped and the tram line No. 2 is temporarily running on a free schedule on the route Vana-Lõuna – Suur Paala. A replacement bus line is running between Kopli and Hobujaama tram stops.
Next weekend, on September 10 and 11, the Tallinn Marathon will bring more than ten thousand runners from more than forty countries to Tallinn, causing several temporary changes to traffic and public transport in the city.
In the field of education, attention was paid to improving the indoor climate and accessibility of schools and renovating kindergartens, while a major challenge was to solve the educational problems of children of war refugees from Ukraine.
Tallinn Marathon will draw around 20,000 sports enthusiasts from over 70 countries to the districts of Põhja-Tallinn, Kesklinn, and Haabersti from 8 to 10 September. This will lead to temporary changes in Tallinn's traffic and public transport.
Tallinn is developing a solution for the reconstruction of Ristiku Street, Härjapea Street and Ristiku Põik, which will result in the creation of a safer and more comfortable urban space for all road users. The public presentation of the sketch will take place at 18:30 on 30 May at Ristiku Basic School (Ristiku 69).
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.
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.
On the weekends of 10–11 May and 17–18 May, the City of Tallinn will once again organise collection rounds for hazardous household waste and reusable items. These rounds allow residents to conveniently, safely, and sustainably dispose of hazardous materials and give new life to items they no longer need.
Next week, construction will begin on the first phase of the Putukaväil (The Pollinator Highway) project in Tallinn, creating a new pedestrian and cyclist corridor between Ristiku and Sõle streets and establishing a diverse linear park that connects Sõle Street with Kolde puiestee.
