Tallinn is planning to construct new tramways on Liivalaia Street and along the Pollinator Highway (Putukaväil) leading to Pelguranna. This week, the City Government sent a proposal to the Ministry of Climate for European Union funding to expand the city's tram network. The plan involves adding three kilometers of new tracks.

The Tallinn City Government submitted a draft of the third supplementary budget of 2023 to the city council. According to the draft, the city budget will increase by 46.5 million euros. Should the draft be adopted, the final budget for 2023 will be 1.18 billion euros.

The new pedestrian tunnels on Endla Street will provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists between the city centre and Kristiine.

The City of Tallinn is planning a major redesign of the Kristiine junction to improve mobility for everyone and prepare for the future tramline extension.

Tallinn’s 2025 city budget lays the groundwork for expanding the tram network across districts. Inspired by other Northern European cities, street redevelopment will focus on improving quality of life and accessibility for businesses.

The Old City Harbour tramline will officially open on Friday, November 29, at 12:00, with a ceremony held between Viru Keskus and the Tallink Hotel. The opening event will feature a high-wire act by world-renowned slackliner Jaan Roose and a performance by the Tallinn Police Orchestra. At approximately 12:50, a test ride will be conducted to Old City Harbour, where more surprises await. Regular tram services on the new tracks will begin on Sunday, December 1.

Among Tallinn’s most significant investments in the 2025 city budget is the completion of the Tallinn City Theatre complex on Lai Street. At the same time, work will begin on designing the city's next major cultural project—the Tallinn Open Collections Facility. A total of €56.5 million has been allocated for operating expenses and investments in the cultural sector.

The Ministry of Climate, with support from the European Union, is allocating nearly €20 million to Tallinn to build a new tram line to Pelguranna. Combined with the city's contribution, the total investment exceeds €28 million.
