On Thursday in Männi park, Tallinn Deputy Mayor Vladimir Svet and Deputy Head of Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department Tarmo Sulg presented the concept for planning and constructing the public toilets in urban space, and stressed that the city's priority is to gradually increase the share of permanent toilets.
In the draft 2023 city budget, the largest share of the total investment is in the reconstruction and overhaul of roads and streets, with €78.1 million planned. Emphasis is placed on the reconstruction of major transport nodes and the overhaul and rehabilitation of streets, bridges and viaducts.
Yesterday’s snowstorm has brought 200 maintenance vehicles to the streets and the process of clearing streets of snow continues throughout the day. The conditions of the streets are currently acceptable considering the weather conditions.
Starting Tuesday, January 2, reconstruction works will begin on Koidula Street, between Poska and Koidula 34a, to install utilities for the new orangery in Kadriorg Park.
The renovation of Jõe and Pronksi streets is coming to a close, and the streets will be open to traffic on Friday, October 20. The traffic situation will also be improved with the simultaneous opening of the Narva mnt–Jõe–Pronksi and Narva mnt–Laikmaa–Hobujaama intersections. The street opening will bring several changes to the bus routes passing through the city center.
Starting from December, Tallinn will gradually modify parking regulations on certain streets to improve street maintenance and snow clearing. Parking will be prohibited on specific days of the week or at certain hours, and drivers are advised to pay attention to traffic signs.
Tallinn is planning to reduce free parking for diplomats in Tallinn. The change will affect the parking arrangements for more than 200 vehicles in Tallinn's public parking areas. Ambassadors' cars will continue to be able to park free of charge on the streets of Tallinn.
