Description
Mayor Walsh will present his proposed fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2024 Imagine Boston Capital Plan which makes critical investments in every Boston neighborhood guided by Boston's citywide plan, Imagine Boston 2030
A
Good
afternoon,
well,
we
get
started.
I
just
want
to
note
two
important
program
pieces
of
information.
First,
there
are
interpreter
resources
in
the
back.
The
back
left
table
over
here.
There
are
kits
available
for
Spanish,
Chinese
and
Somali
if
anyone
would
like
them
so
just
over
here
in
the
back
corner.
A
I
also
just
want
to
mention
that
we
are
joined
here
today
by
our
budget
materials,
lots
of
information
about
how
the
city
puts
together
both
that's
operating
in
capital
budget
every
year,
specific
investments
that
are
in
this
year's
budget
and
these
posters
here
and
then
the
larger
ones
talk
about
exactly
how
our
process
works
and
what
it
takes
to
get
us
to
an
announcement
like
today's
announcements
that
we're
here
to
discuss.
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
joining
us
this
morning
to
begin
our
program
today.
A
A
Good
morning
again,
my
name
is
Simon
Handy's
I'm,
the
chief
chief
administration
and
finance
officer
for
the
city
of
Boston.
I,
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
we're
here
today
to
present
Mayor
Walsh's
2.78
billion
dollar
FY
22
FY
24
capital
plan.
Our
capital
plan
makes
critical
investments
in
our
city's
infrastructure
that
reflect
our
core
values
and
our
priorities
in
our
city.
It's
one
that
is
affordable
and
sustainable.
A
It's
done
within
the
framework
of
our
debt
affordability
policy,
which
makes
smart
targeted
investments
while
adhering
to
the
mayor's
commitment
to
strong
fiscal
management
practices,
practices
which
are
critically
important
because
they've
earned
us
the
city
of
Boston,
a
triple-a
bond
rating
with
Moody's
and
S&P
for
six
years.
I
won't
get
into
all
the
details
of
the
investments,
because
other
he's
others
here
that
will
speak,
we'll
talk
about
them
in
more
details.
A
But
there
are
many
many
highlights
in
this
capital
plan
that
include
things
like
renovations
to
revitalize
our
parks
and
protect
our
neighborhoods
from
rising
sea
levels
and
climate
change,
new
fire
houses
and
new
fire
trucks.
A
new
police
station
and
a
new
EMS
facility
improvements
to
our
schools,
including
construction
of
new
buildings
and
new
kitchens,
and
the
preservation
and
creation
of
new,
affordable
housing
units.
These
investments
touch
every
neighborhood
in
Boston
and
they
are
guided
by
the
priorities
that
we
set
forth
in
our
imagined.
A
A
A
Want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
City
Council
for
your
continued
input,
engagement
with
us
through
this
process
that
we
are
embarking
on
together
and
finally,
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
vision
and
strong
leadership
in
guiding
this
process
and
allowing
for
historic
investments
that
impact
every
resident
and
every
neighborhood.
His
commitment
to
the
city
is
seen
in
this
capital
plan
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
him
so
that
he
can
review
the
plan
with
you
all.
C
C
It
was
a
level
three
school
in
with
with
incredible
leadership:
incredible
teachers,
an
incredible
community
that
schools
the
level
one
school
it's
one
of
the
one
of
my
favorites
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
with
that
school
I
want
to
thank
joining
us
today
to
our
city,
councilors
I
know
we
have
budget
hearings
and
much
things
going
on,
but
I
want
to
thank
we're.
Inter-District
council
idiot
woods,
Thank,
You
Council
for
being
in
the
district
thanks
for
having
us
hosting
us
today,
city,
council,
citywide,
nice,
rossabi,
George
or
I.
C
Think
council
droid
being
here
I,
want
to
thank
most
of
the
cabinet's
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here.
I'll
give
different
shoutouts
as
the
day
goes
on.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
to
Justin
Emmet
ain't.
Just
in
our
budget
director
him
his
team.
They
did
an
amazing
job,
putting
the
budget
together.
Thank
You,
Justin.
C
But
this
budget,
this
budget
was
put
together
by
that
by
our
chief
financial
officer,
and
this
is
this
is
she
has
got
an
amazing
job,
running
the
finances
for
the
city
of
Boston?
We
have
had,
as
she
mentioned,
a
triple
a
bond
rating
for
six
consecutive
years,
but
you
can't
have
that
type
of
success
would
have
incredible
leaders
and
I
want
to
do
a
special.
Thank
you
to
Emma
handy
for
the
great
work
of
two-time.
C
C
We
brought
over
to
eesti
to
maverick
Square
and
we
had
it.
We
have
a
capital
budget
there
and
it
was.
It
was
really
bringing
in
the
budget
to
the
community,
because
at
that
point
we
were
doing
over
maverick
Square
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
processes.
Last
year
we
decided
to
keep
the
tradition
alive
and
we
made
the
invent.
C
We
did
the
announcement
at
Franklin
Park
next
to
the
old
shack,
we're
next
to
the
Shattuck
hospital,
and
we
brought
it
out
to
the
community
and
today
we're
here
for
a
reason,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
that,
while
we
here,
but
we
decided
to
continue
that
tradition
of
making
the
investments
in
the
neighborhood.
Two
weeks
ago,
we
presented
an
operating
budget
that
the
City
Council
is
having
hearings
on
right
now
of
about
3.5
billion
dollars.
It
bills
on
fiscal
management,
and
it's
helped
us
keep
this
triple-a
bond
rating.
C
What
that
means
is
triple-a,
bond
rating
those
either
don't
understand
it.
It's
having
really
good
credit
and
we
have
the
top
tier
credit
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
and
we've
never
had
it
for
six
consecutive
years,
but
we
honestly
never
had
it
for
three
consecutive
years,
but
now
we
have
at
six
consecutive
years
and
what
that
does.
It
helps
us.
C
It
helps
us
access
capital
and
helps
us
to
be
able
to
continue
to
move
the
city
along
in
a
responsible
way
and
I
think
that
that's
really
important
when
I'm
proudest
to
present
today
I'm
proud
to
present
today,
I
should
say
our
capital
budget
for
fiscal
2022,
fiscal
2022,
2024,
the
operating
budget
is
a
one-year
budget.
So
it's
it's
our
police,
it's
our
fire!
It's
our
water
and
sewer.
It's
Public
Works!
It's
our
schools.
It's
all
that
stuff.
It
basically
pays
the
bills.
C
C
Our
goal
was
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
every
single
neighborhood
and
it's
simply
treat
example
today,
what
we're
doing
here
in
Charlestown
a
couple
years
ago,
we
had
a
conversation
about
this
very
housing
development
that
we're
in
today,
it's
the
oldest
in
the
country.
I
talked
to
Billy
and
I
said
you
know.
This
is
something
that
the
residents
that
live
here
deserve
to
live
in
21st
century
living,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
renovate
and
upgrade.
C
We've
had
we've
had
some
starts
and
stops
with
the
projects,
and
we
trying
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
move
the
project
forward.
We,
we
are
lacking
a
national
federal
partner
that
in
the
past,
we'd
go
to
the
federal
government
and
they
would
give
us
money
to
be
able
to
help
us
with
renovating,
like
like
the
President
Obama,
did
what
Whittier
Street
right
before
he
left
office,
but
we
don't
have
a
national
pot
and
help
us.
C
Renat
renovating
deeply
affordable
homes.
What
this
means
is
it's
happening.
This
doesn't
mean
that
it
might
happen.
We're
gonna
talk
about
it,
some
more.
That
means
it's
actually
happening
and
and
I
have
to
give
a
lot
of
credit.
I
have
to
give
a
lot
of
credit,
Emma
and
Justin,
who
came
up
with
some
ideas
and
Billy
and
his
team
to
say
how
do
we?
C
As
we
okay,
as
we
talked
about-
and
you
hear
a
lot
of
conversation
about
housing
and
affordable
housing
and
a
lot
of
us,
the
City
Council
myself,
we
have
a
lot
of
conversations
and
advocates
and
advocacy
groups
and
Sheila
Dillon
who
housing
and
there's
a
lot
of
conversations.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
do
what
we're
doing
and
how
do
we
continue
to
make
investments?
C
C
This
thirty
million
dollar
investment
builds
on
tremendous
progress
that
we've
made
over
the
last
five
years.
We've
built
more
affordable
units
that,
in
the
last
five
years
than
any
other
period
on
record,
we
have
the
highest
percentage
of
income,
restricted,
affordable
housing
than
any
other
large
city
in
America
and
we'll
work
to
end
chronic
homelessness
among
veterans
and
working
on
ending
chronic
homelessness.
This
thirty
million
dollars
is
a
step
it's
and
what
it
means
is
it's
not
just
a
thirty
million
dollar
investment,
it's
a
new
way
of
being
able
to
support,
affordable
housing.
C
So
we
can
take
the
model
that
we're
doing
here
in
Charlestown
and
take
it
around
the
city
of
Boston
to
other
neighborhoods,
where
we
have
to
make
investments
in
affordable
housing
as
well,
and-
and
so
that's
something
that's
what
I'm
excited
about
today.
We're
gonna
hear
from
Nancy
Martinez
nancy
has
limited
Bunker,
Hill
housing
for
25
years
and
she's
recently
elected
as
the
president
of
the
Chou's
town,
residence
Alliance,.
C
And
she's
going
to
talk
more
about
the
investment
here,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
we
continue
to
do
that.
The
cap
of
this
capital
budget
dedicates
1.2
billion
dollars
to
make
our
roads
and
sidewalks
better
for
everyone
to
use
them
in
the
entire
city.
That's
pedestrian
buses,
bicycles,
cars,
making,
better
connections
in
our
neighborhoods.
One
example
of
this
is
North
Washington.
C
C
By
taking
bold
action
on
climate
change,
we're
leading
a
national
charge
to
cut
carbon
emissions
here
in
Boston,
but
set
the
tone
for
the
rest
of
the
country,
we're
also
doing
groundbreaking
work.
Preparing
for
sea
level
rise,
that's
real!
We
see
it
when
we
have
tides
coming
in,
and
water
coming
over
sea
walls
and
different
parts
of
the
city.
We
saw
it
a
few
years
ago
and
South
Boston.
C
This
is
something
the
federal
partners
should
be
paying
it
and
helping
us
with,
but
we're
making
sure
that
in
our
budget
we're
dedicating
money
to
do
that.
This
funding
will
support
resilient
Boston
Harbor,
a
plan
that
we
announced
in
September.
It's
gonna,
be
a
system
of
parks
and
beaches
and
trails
that
are
elevated
to
block
and
flood
and
create
opportunities.
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
connecting
people
back
to
the
water
here
in
Boston
by
creating
safety
for
sea
level
rise,
but
we're
also
allowing
people
the
access
to
the
water.
C
This
plan
invests
20
million
dollars
in
climate
resilient
Waterfront
Park
or
a
long
four-point
channel.
That's
where
we're
gonna
have
the
new
mountain
richard
park,
which
was
going
to
open
in
june
and
next
to
that
we're
gonna
be
investing
twenty
million
dollars.
As
this
as
the
four
point
channel
sea
level
rises,
it
floods
out
neighborhoods
in
our
city,
so
we're
gonna
be
using
that
to
protect
it.
We're
investing
twenty
three
million
dollars
to
revitalize
Franklin
Park
in
twenty
three
million
dollars
to
revitalize
Boston
common.
C
This
is
because
of
the
sale
of
the
width
of
square
garage
that
were
able
to
get
this
one-time
revenue
to
be
able
to
make
investments
and
really
do
some
major
renovations
there.
The
capital
plan
also
dedicates
two
million
dollars
to
Moakley
Park
and
South
Boston
training
in
to
Boston's
largest
climate
ready
waterfront,
but
by
joining
Clinton
by
Julian
Oakley
Park
over
in
South
Boston.
We
actually
protect
the
residents
of
the
Mary
Ellen
McCormick
housing
development,
the
Old
Colony
Housing
Development
Roxbury
in
the
South
Bay
and
Laurel
Rock
Spring,
the
South
End.
C
So
as
we
do,
as
we
do
four
point
channel
in
Moakley
Park,
what
we're
doing
is
not
letting
the
water
connect
and
go
into
the
neighborhoods
in
Lower
Roxbury,
so
we're
going
to
be
preventing
when
this
plan
gets
built
out,
preventing
potential
flooding
happening
in
those
neighborhoods.
In
addition
to
these,
big
projects
were
investing
another
two
hundred
and
forty
five
million
dollars
in
neighborhood
parks
all
over
the
city,
so
we're
doing
parks
in
Charlestown,
we're
doing
parks
almost
I,
think
in
every
single
neighborhood
in
the
city.
C
We're
doing
that
parks
over
and
we're
doing
them
right
so
that
people
can
enjoy
them
and
have
beautiful
places
for
the
kids
to
play
and
for
older
people
to
enjoy
and
rest
and
for
people
to
just
to
be
able
to
be
proud,
proud.
In
the
neighbor,
there's
no
reason
why
we
go
to
the
sub
or,
as
we
see
a
beautiful
park
there,
and
they
said
why
can't
our
parks
be
like
that
we're
gonna
make
our
parks,
look
like
the
suburban
parks
to
make
them
that
well,.
C
We're
also
excited
about
a
project,
that's
underway
at
Sea
Hawk
Plaza
we're
investing
70
million
dollars
to
bake
better
use
of
the
seven
acre
space
in
downtown
Boston.
Basically,
what
we're
doing
with
turning
City
Hall
plaza
into
what
it
truly
was
envisioned
for
an
open
space
for
the
people
of
Boston
to
enjoy,
and
we're
also
doing
some
work
there,
because
we
have
a
tunnel
cap
under
there
and
with
it's
sinking
down
a
bit
so
we're
doing
some
work
there
as
well.
C
To
make
sure
we
don't
want
to
be
on
top
of
the
Train,
so
we're
working
on
that
we
want.
We
want
to
turn
City
Hall,
plaza
truly
into
the
people's
Plaza,
with
play
areas,
seating,
trees
in
more
space
for
special
events,
a
lot
of
people
use
City
Hall
as
a
building
and
sometimes
outside
now
we're
gonna
turn
to
another
another
public
open
space
that
people
should
be
gathering.
If
you
go
to
other
cities
around
the
world
and
you
go
to
their
City
Hall,
so
they
are
there.
C
State
capitals
usually
around
that
building
is
a
very
beautiful,
open
public
space
and
what
we
have
around
us
as
public
space
is
a
lot
of
bricks
and
if
you'll
walk
to
you,
there's
some
problems,
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
move
forward.
This
plan
also
invested
over
five
hundred
million
dollars
in
Boston
public
school
projects.
It's
part
of
our
10-year
plan,
we're
upgrading
school
buildings
and
making
sure
that
every
student
has
access
to
21st
century
education.
C
Right
now
under
construction,
Boston,
Arts
Academy
in
the
Fenway
and
the
Elliott
School
in
the
North
End,
we
have
a
million
dollars,
budgeted
to
start
design
next
year
of
the
new
7
to
12
McCormick
School
in
Dorchester,
we're
investing
in
new
kitchens
and
our
schools
to
serve
fresh
foods
and
dirty
additional
schools
will
have
planning
efforts
at
the
Josiah
Quincy
Upper
School
in
Chinatown,
in
the
Conner
school
in
the
South
End
and
through
our
capital
plan,
we're
making
we're
making
sure
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
make
investments
in
our
schools.
As
we
move
forward.
C
C
We
need
to
make
sure
they
have
the
right
place
to
learn
in
to
so
when
we
working
through
our
school
budget,
we're
also
dedicating
13
million
dollars
the
public
art
in
this
by
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
people
want
to
see.
A
lot
of
I
just
want
to
see
at
least
a
couple
of
people
happy
about
that
we're
investing
127
million
dollars
in
library
citywide.
C
C
That's
a
big
difference
from
probably
2010.
We
were
talking
about
closing
six
libraries
in
the
city
of
Boston
not
will
making
investments
in
libraries
in
Dorchester
and
Roslindale
and
Roxbury
and
Ravenna
renovating
the
central
doing
some
more
renovating
in
the
central
library
for
more
programming
and
really
working.
The
library
is
not
central
and
everyone
else.
C
It's
certainly
hitting
us
hard
in
Boston.
It's
hitting
us
hard
in
almost
almost
everybody's
home.
If
I
said
this
ten
years
ago,
not
everyone
would
have
known
somebody
that
has
an
addiction
or
died
of
an
addiction.
Today,
if
you
ask
people,
they
know,
have
a
cousin
or
a
friend
a
brother,
a
sister
or
father
or
mother
or
somebody
that's
struggling
Boston
has
responded
by
building
one
of
the
strongest
recovery
systems
in
the
nation.
When
you
think
about
that,
we
still
see
so
much
devastation
on
the
streets.
C
C
The
capital
plan
funds
a
bridge
to
the
islands.
We
don't
turn
anyone
away
when
somebody
shows
up
on
our
street
and
they're
homeless
and
they
come
from
California
or
Texas
or
Trinidad.
We
don't
send
them
back.
We
try
to
help
them.
Long,
Island
campus
isn't
for
Boston
residents,
it's
for
all
residents,
people
who
need
help
to
get
into
recovery.
That's
why
we've
said:
that's
why
it's
important
for
us
to
rebuild
the
bridge
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
do.
We're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
to
rebuild
the
bridge.
C
There's
this
bridge
isn't
just
a
bridge.
This
bridge
is
a
bridge
to
recovery,
a
bridge
to
hole,
we're
also
going
to
increase
our
budget
for
recovery
services,
and
we
are
setting
a
national
example
on
how
to
approach
this
with
care
and
compassion.
The
areas
that
we're
investing
in
when
it
comes
to
addiction,
recovery,
services,
infrastructure,
the
environment,
affordable
housing,
Washington
in
the
White
House
was
turned
their
back
on
all
of
these
things.
We
don't
have
a
federal
partner
in
any
of
these
areas
and
people
say
well.
C
C
This
budget,
with
a
big
heart,
reflects
our
values,
our
beliefs
of
every
single,
in
making
sure
that
we
know,
and
let
people
know
that
every
single
person
is
worthy
of
dignity
and
hope
and
opportunity.
This
budget
absolutely
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
our
neighborhoods.
There's
no
question
about
it
and
it
will
continue
to
generate
our
news
for
our
residents
for
generations
to
come.
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
person
who
helped
guide
this
vision
to
imagine
Boston
20
34
years
ago.
C
I
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
time
for
being
part
of
it
for
giving
a
suggestion.
Making
an
opinion.
I
also
want
to
thank
everyone
who
helped
with
this
budget
together
and
I,
want
to
thank
the
City,
Council
and
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
Boston
delegations,
the
legislature
for
working
right.
Now
they
do
in
the
budget.
Today
they
couldn't
be
here
and
they're
working
to
make
sure
that
we
get
investments
that
we
need
from
the
state
to
continue
to
move
our
city
forward.
C
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
political
partners
for
what
they
have
done.
I
also
invite
people
here
today
and
people
gonna
watch
this.
This
show
to
explore.
I
want
you
to
go
out,
explore
all
the
investments
across
every
neighborhood
I
want
you
to
visit
our
website
at
budget
Boston
gov
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
support
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
council
over
the
next
six
six
weeks.
C
C
President
Obama
gave
Boston
agreeance
to
redo
the
Mary,
Ellen
or
colony
housing
development
in
that
budget
in
that
proposal
was
that
we
were
supposed
to
have
a
pre
apprentice
program
so
Billy
and
myself
and
the
building
trades
and
his
team
Kate
and
some
other
folks
got
together
and
we
talked
about
creating
an
opportunity
called
building
pathways.
The
the
calling
housing
development
is
built,
the
money
is
paid
for,
building
pathways
is
still
operational
and
it's
put
hundreds
of
young
people
into
the
building
trades
long
after
that.
C
Housing
development
on
part
of
that
goal
and
the
reason
for
happening
was
Billy
McGann,
whose
leadership
and
I
want
to
thank
Billy
McGann
his
leadership
because
she
saw
me
grow
up
in
housing.
You
grew
up
in
public
housing
and
he's
never
forgotten
where
he's
come
from.
So
the
director
of
Boston
Housing
Authority
bill
in
Milan.
D
D
I'm
extraordinarily
pleased
to
welcome
you
all
here
today
to
the
funky
old
public
housing
development.
As
the
mayor
said,
this
is
one
of
the
oldest
public
housing
communities
in
the
country.
It
is
the
largest
public
housing
development
in
New
England.
It
houses,
1,100
families
over
3,000
people
and
where
there
are
about
a
dozen
different
languages
spoken,
and
it
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
census
tracts
in
New
England.
So
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
today
on
this
historic
day.
D
We
look
forward
to
taking
our
plans
and
our
proposals
in
more
specificity
out
to
the
broader
neighborhood
as
early
as
next
month,
we'll
be
meeting
with
the
stakeholders
in
this
neighborhood
will
be
working
with
BB
da
to
get
this
thing
up
and
running
and
to
finally
get
it
into
the
ground
and
to
create
the
deeply
affordable
housing
in
the
market
rate
housing
to
create
a
wonderful
mixed
income
community
here
in
Charlestown
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
the
real
heroes.
Are
the
Chau
sound,
reson
Alliance,
the
tenant
organization?
Here,
I.
D
Have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
vibrant
tenant
organizations
all
over
the
city?
This
is
certainly
one
of
the
finest
I
want
to
recognize.
Phil,
Gina,
Carla
and
we'll
be
hearing
from
Nancy
very
soon.
I
would
also
like
to
recognize
the
two
former
recently
passed
presidents
of
this
tenant
organization.
That
also
worked
very
hard
in
where
we
are
today.
Certainly
Betty
and
tiara.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
service
I.
D
Would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
recognize
Lauren
and
JJ
Rose,
the
the
folks
that
have
worked
and
provided
advice
and
counsel
to
our
tenant
organization
here
from
Greater
Boston
Legal
Service
I
want
to
thank
them
for
all
they
do
for
the
public
housing
residents
all
over
the
city.
So
without
further
ado,
I
am
absolutely
delighted
to
introduce
the
current
president
of
the
Chou's
town
resident
Alliance,
my
friend
my
hero,
Nancy
Martinez
Nancy,.
E
E
E
E
With
a
child,
some
resident
Elias
pleased
to
continue
to
work.
We
may
your
watch
BHA
legen
macaw,
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
channel,
some
public
housing
redevelopment
becomes
a
national
model
and,
with
all
the
words
thank
for
everyone
for
making
this
day
possible.
Now,
let's
do
great
things
together.
E
F
When
I
first
joined
administration,
mayor
Walsh
said,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
residents,
as
Nancy
said,
is
guiding
everything
that
we
do
everything
that
he
does
as
mayor
and
everything
that
we
move
forward
in
the
city
of
Boston,
which
is
why
we
launched
imagine
Boston
2030
the
city's
roadmap
for
making
sure
that
the
city
of
Boston,
the
businesses,
the
organizations
and
the
residents
are
driving
what's
happening
in
our
city.
We
are
here
using
this
vision
to
literally
shape
the
future
of
our
city.
F
This
plan
was
shaped
by
you,
the
residents
of
Charlestown
and
the
residents
of
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
planning
process
for
imagine,
Boston,
2030
hinged
on
three
crucial
priorities:
resident
engagement
and
voice,
Thank,
You,
Nancy,
mayoral
priorities,
data
and
research,
15,000
residents
from
every
single
neighborhood
in
our
city
submitted
feedback
opinions
and
what
they
want
to
see
for
the
future
of
our
city.
The
primary
goals
you
identified
were
expanding
opportunities
for
all
Bostonians,
supporting
a
vibrant
economy,
enhancing
quality
of
life
and
preparing
for
climate
change.
These
priorities
are
informing
everything
we
do.
F
That's
especially
evident
in
our
capital
investment
outlined
here
today.
Mayor
Walsh's
capital
investment
plan
represents
2.7,
eight
million
billion
dollars
of
investment
in
infrastructure,
climate
resilience,
enhancing
neighborhoods
and
generating
networks
of
opportunity
for
every
single
neighborhood
in
the
city,
from
East
Boston
to
Mattapan
and
from
Brighton
to
Charlestown.
F
That's
right,
I
know
when
I
need
energy
I
need
to
come
to
Charlestown
as
Mayor
Walsh
stated
earlier
Boston.
That
was
really
quick.
That's
our
man
as
as
Mayor
Walsh
started
stated
earlier.
Boston
is
leading
where
Walsh,
where
Washington
is
failing,
and
that
means
both
our
local
government
and
our
partners
and
our
engaged
residents
working
together
for
our
shaped
future.
Thank
you
all
who
lent
their
voice
time
and
energy
to
imagine,
Boston,
2030
and
the
future
of
our
city.
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to

as
well
as
the
the
baseball
fields
down
by
