Muddy trails upgraded to paved sidewalks across the city

Muddy trails upgraded to paved sidewalks across the city

The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department is set to construct sidewalks at 30 locations across the city, replacing informal trails or old paved sidewalks now in poor condition.

Deputy Mayor Vladimir Svet explained that these are popular routes among residents where proper sidewalks have been lacking, and people have predominantly used paths across green areas. “The selection of locations is based on feedback from residents and district governments. Considering the city's overall tidiness, it makes sense to pave these desire paths since they clearly indicate the desire of the citizens who use them. In the longer term, proper lighting will also be installed along these paths,” said Svet.

The new sidewalk sections or improvements to existing paths are planned in the following areas:
  • In Haabersti, paths behind the buildings at Õismäe tee 45 - Õismäe tee 47;
  • In Kesklinn, the sidewalk on Viadukti Street (between Veerenni - Leete ), next to Rävala puiestee 17, the ramp in front of Tatari 64 (Rimi), the segment between Hermanni  2- Hermani 6, next to Võistluse 8 – Võistluse 12;
  • In Kristiine, on Kotkapoja Street beside Lilleküla train stop and near Marsi 6;
  • In Lasnamäe, from K.Kärberi 34 and K.Kärberi 40 to Laagna tee and to Rauna bus stop, near Kivila 3a, from Kivila 22 to the bus stop, near Pallasti 54, on Mustakivi tee between Laagna tee and Punane Street, near Kalevipoja bus stop;
  • In Mustamäe, the sidewalk along Retke tee, between Retke tee 1 - Retke tee 3a, in front of Sõpruse puiestee 187, on Kadaka tee between Laki Street and Mustamäe tee, the sidewalk between Akadeemia 50 and Akadeemia tee 30a, near Mustamäe tee 161b;
  • In Nõmme, various segments on Rännaku puiestee, near Kalda Street steps, on Tammepärja Street between Kadaka tee and Kalda 64, on Pärnu maantee between Roheline Street and Roheline bus stop;
  • In Pirita, beside Kloostrimetsa tee 29, on Lükati tee between Jõekalda Street and Kose tee;
  • In Põhja-Tallinn, the segment between Puhangu 2 – Puhangu 12, the pedestrian and bicycle path between the county line bus station at Balti Jaam and the tram tracks, near Kopli 35b, the segment of Rukki Street between Ristiku and Aru, the segment between Karjamaa Street Park and Kopli Street.
The Tallinn Urban Environment and Public Works Department is currently preparing for design and construction tenders, as well as applying for design conditions. Design work is scheduled for the spring and summer, with paving expected to begin in the fall. The estimated cost of the works is 1.22 million euros, including VAT.
