The Tallinn city government has halted projects.
These projects could receive funding from the European Union.
The money would help in building tram lines and bicycle paths.
Kõlvart says this does not harm the environment.
He says they are seeking better solutions.
Costs in Tallinn's budget are growing faster.
There are fewer investments.
Kõlvart says that due to the social sector, costs are increasing.
The budget needs to be adjusted next year.
The goals have not changed.
Kõlvart says that the Centre Party and Isamaa are not environmentally hostile.
He says that major projects were carried out during the Centre Party's time.
Kõlvart says tram lines and trolleys were taken care of.
Kõlvart says the city needs a development plan.
Bicycle paths and parks can still be built.
Some projects have been halted.
These projects have been halted for two reasons.
Jevgeni Ossinovski says some projects will lose EU funding.
The city must fund the projects itself.
Ossinovski says most funds are related to the environment.
If projects are halted, the city loses money.
Ossinovski says Tallinn's traffic will worsen if public transport is not developed.
Kõlvart says EU money should not be the reason for projects.
He says the Liivalaia and Pelguranna tram lines are not necessary.
Ossinovski says Tallinn is requesting money for a project.
He says public transport needs to be faster and more convenient.
This will help reduce traffic congestion.
Kõlvart and Ossinovski say public transport corridors are necessary.
They disagree with trams and trolleys.
Kõlvart thinks trolleys are cheaper and faster.
