This year also saw the completion of the second phase of the public transport network modernization and the redirection of tram line no. 2 through the Old City Harbour.
Utility work will be carried out on Uus Street to provide residents with better-quality heating. The city will also build curbless sidewalks to create a shared urban space that is friendly to all road users.
