The Tallinn City Government made a proposal to the City Council to give diplomats who reside in the capital the right to use public transport free of charge.

Tallinn plans to collaborate with the private sector to construct an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Lasnamäe at the Kuukivi 3 and 5 (formerly Varraku 14a and 14b) properties. In 2019, Tondiraba Ujula OÜ, the winner of the state procurement that year, informed the city in late August that they would be unable to complete the construction of the pool within the agreed-upon time and conditions due to a substantial increase in construction costs. Since the construction project has already been made and all that is missing are the construction procurements, the city has decided to terminate the existing contract and plans to start a new procurement process.
