The Tallinn City Government approved a new parking guideline at today’s meeting. It will serve as the basis for planning and designing parking lots and spaces when constructing new buildings or extending existing ones. The previously valid regulation has been repealed by the City Council.

The newly opened section now features pedestrian and bicycle paths, playgrounds and sports facilities, lighting, and much more to make moving through the urban space pleasant and safe.

Starting today, 1 August, the maintenance of street lighting and electrical installations in Tallinn will be provided by AS Tallinna Linnatransport (TLT). For residents, the change in service provider brings no changes to the service itself, except for new contact details for reporting faults.
