In the second round of grants for non-profit cultural activities this year, the City of Tallinn is allocating a total of 77,900 euros to support 22 initiatives.
On Wednesday, July 3, construction will begin on Kadaka puiestee to replace the current deteriorating overpass with a new viaduct. This project aims to ensure a safer traffic environment for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. The construction will result in changes to traffic arrangements and public transport operations.
A poetry trail consisting of fragments of thirty poems by Estonian poets will be completed on the streets of Tallinn, which will tour the entire city to offer pedestrians a more varied cultural and urban space experience.
The speed limits will be lowered on Tallinn's streets to ensure safer traffic. The maximum speed allowed will be 30 km/h on a number of inner district roads and 40 km/h on some of the larger streets in the city centre.
From Friday, 15 July until 14 September, passengers may travel free of charge in Mustamäe by self-driving shuttle on the inner district roads between Mustamäe tee, Tammsaare tee and Ehitajate tee.
The proposed health trail in the Sütiste forest park on the border of Nõmme and Mustamäe will not be built. Further development of the Sütiste forest will be decided by the property's manager, the Estonian Environmental Board.
