Kristjan J\u00e4rvan, Tallinn’s deputy mayor for environmental and public utilities affairs, said in a statement that the new solution is the best compromise for the capital.<\/p>\n
“The selected route serves more people, is closest to the Pelgulinna High School, and allows the tramway to be built faster and at a lower cost than the initially proposed option. Since there is no need to acquire private land, we save both officials’ time and taxpayers’ money,” he explained.<\/p>\n
According to the deputy mayor, the cost of the route will be \u20ac6 million to \u20ac8 million lower and the construction time shorter than with the previous route options.<\/p>\n

Additionally, J\u00e4rvan said the change gives the city additional certainty that the new tramway will be completed before the end of 2029, which is a condition for receiving European Union funding.<\/p>\n
To implement the project, Tallinn’s Environment and Public Utilities Department will amend the design contract with K-Projekt AS and commission additional studies on geodesy, noise, vibration and similar matters.<\/p>\n
In the next stage, the city will apply for new design specifications for the alternative route, during which residents will also be able to express their views.<\/p>\n
The estimated cost of building the tramway is \u20ac27 million.<\/p>\n
