CLOSING KALARAND FOR PUBLIC
clearly stated.
Kalarand is an important seaside for locals and there is a very high public interest. Kalamaja
community and Telliskivi Selts have organised petitions against Pro Kapital’s developing
plans and have tried to reach out to the City Counsil and Chancellor of Justice in order to
solve the situation. Since closing the seaside to public there has been no change in it. The best
way to solve it is sueing the company and City Council should be the one who would stand
for the public interest. Armuneeme case is a good example how doing nothing can escalate the
situation from bad to the worst. If Tallinn wants to be known as a maritime town, then the
City Council should fight for keeping the seaside open for public, as required by the Estonian
law.
