From October 20 to October 26, COVID-19 counselling and vaccination points will be open in Haabersti, Põhja-Tallinn, Kesklinn and Nõmme, where everyone can ask for advice on vaccination and at the same time get vaccinated. Two-dose Pfizer / BioNTech and Moderna vaccines and a single-dose Janssen vaccine are administered. The counselling and vaccination points will be located in the local election polling tents that were set up last week.

By Tuesday evening, 15,922 voters had cast their votes in Tallinn polling places, which is a little over half of the people who had voted in polling places all over Estonia.

The Tallinn City Government determined the locations of the polling stations in the local elections, paying attention to comfort and flexibility of the voting, meanwhile ensuring the protection of the voters’ health in the conditions of the virus outbreak.

On Monday, June 28, renovation works of the intra-quarter roads of the City Centre district will begin by order of Tallinn Environment and Public Utilities Department. In the course of the works, the asphalt pavement of the streets and sidewalks will be renewed, the dilapidated curbs will be replaced and the wellheads within the determined area will be repaired. Tree pruning and landscaping work are also performed.

In the coming years, the City of Tallinn will build a series of new and upgraded cycle paths in the city centre and the surrounding districts. Investments are planned from the city's budget as well as from EU funds, with a strong emphasis on community involvement.

One of the priorities in Tallinn's 2024 budget is the development of a comfortable and safe urban space, which includes investments in transportation infrastructure and making streets more pedestrian-friendly. The city budget has allocated over 47.5 million euros for the reconstruction and major repairs of roads and streets. Key projects for the coming year include the reconstruction of Peterburi maantee and Lastekodu Street, the construction of pedestrian tunnels on Paldiski maantee, the reconstruction of the Kadaka viaduct, and the construction of the first phase of Pollinator Highway green corridor.

The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department, AS Utilitas Tallinn, and AS Tallinna Vesi are set to sign a cooperation agreement that facilitates better planning and synchronization of utility network construction and reconstruction. This coordination with other city infrastructure projects aims to reduce the impact of construction on the city's residents and businesses.

The Tallinn City Government has presented the City Council with the first supplementary budget proposal for 2024, increasing the total city budget by 9.5 million euros. One of the priorities of the supplementary budget is the urban landscape and mobility sectors, with additional funds allocated primarily to improve the quality of winter street maintenance and to develop landscaping.

On Wednesday, June 26, major reconstruction work will begin on Lastekodu Street, resulting in a high-quality urban space where people can safely and comfortably move on foot, by bike, or by car. The construction will bring changes to downtown traffic and, in later stages, to public transportation.

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.
