In order to improve the mobility of road users, the City of Tallinn plans to build additional access roads to the bridges of Laagna tee in the coming years. The main aim of the project is to provide better access for people in wheelchairs or pushchairs.
This year, 428 abandoned vehicles have been removed from Tallinn's urban space under the auspices of the Municipal Police Office, and 275 more are in the process of being removed. This will free up valuable parking spaces in the city and improve the quality of street maintenance.
