A
A
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
claudia
and
thank
you
for
for
that
great
introduction.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who's
here
today.
This
is
the
first
time
we've
we've
done
something
like
this
in
the
city,
it's
the
first
time
under
in
the
last
30
years.
Generally,
what
happens
when
you
announce
a
budget?
You
announce
a
budget
everything's
wrapped
together
and
in
in
this
case
we
try
to
do
something
a
little
different
try
to
bring
the
capital
to
the
community.
B
We
unveiled
that
budget
last
week
in
city
hall,
which
I'll
talk
briefly
about,
and
today
we're
unveiling
our
capital
piece
of
this
I'd
like
to
thank
the
elected
officials
that
are
here
with
us
today.
I
want
to
thank
senator
joe
boncorri
and
state
representative
madaro
for
their
support
and
being
here
today,
and
I
know
that
next
two
weeks
from
now
they
go
into
their
own
budget
deliberations.
B
I
want
to
thank
city
council,
matt,
o'malley
who's
with
us
today
and
other
counselors
would
have
been
here.
I
know
there's
some
hearings
going
on
today,
so
I
want
to
just
pass
that
along
one
thing:
council
o'malley
who
who
will
begin
the
budget
processes
now
in
the
city
council.
I
want
to
make
a
special
mention
to
council,
salah
martina,
who
announced
on
wednesday
that
he
will
not
be
seeking
re-election.
B
I
want
to
thank
sal
for
for
his
friendship,
but,
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
salford's
dedication
and
commitment
to
his
district.
He's
been
a
great
city,
councilor
and
he's
and
he's
been
part
of
leading
the
change
in
a
lot
of
different
ways,
and
I
know
that
he
doesn't
just
represent
he's
boston.
He
represents
other
parts
of
north
end
and
charlestown,
but
I
know
his
home
is
here
in
eastie
and
I
know
the
investments
that
that
are
in
this
budget,
but
in
the
past
budget
have
cells,
fingerprints
all
over
them.
B
I
also
want
to
thank
everyone
who
worked
on
this
budget.
I
want
to
thank
dave,
sweeney
and
katie
hammer.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
budget
team.
A
lot
of
them
are
here
today.
Thank
you
for
being
part
of
this.
I
also
want
to
thank
max
gunner
from
east
boston,
main
street
and
coach
david
adella
from
the
paris
street
community
center
down
the
street,
which
we've
made
some
large
investments
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
B
I'm
proud
to
present
this
year's
capital
budget
of
2.2.8
2.8
billion
dollars,
capital
fiscal
plan
for
2018
through
2022..
Eight
days
ago,
we
presented
a
fiscal
budget,
3.14
billion
dollars
operating
operating
budget
to
the
city
council.
It
builds
on
a
three
years
of
smart,
responsible
and
sustainable
fiscal
strategy.
B
Today,
we're
excited
to
launch
our
second
part
of
that
budget,
a
capital
plan.
This
this
plan
is
a
little
different
than
in
the
last
few
years.
It
directly
reflects
the
feedback
we
receive
from
thousands
of
residents
who
contributed
through
the
planning
process.
Here
in
the
city,
like
I
said
during
the
release
last
week
of
our
operating
budget,
a
historic
planning
process
changes
the
conversation
on
capital
investment.
B
B
B
We're
able
to
make
this
investment
because
we're
drawing
on
more
than
our
typical
capital
resources,
for
example,
we're
leveraging
one-time
funding
sources
such
as
proceeds
from
the
winthrop
square
garage
sale.
Those
funds
will
help
us
invest
in
franklin
park
and
revitalize
boston
common
america's
oldest
park.
It's
going
to
allow
us
the
opportunity
to
invest
in
housing
here
in
east
boston,
orient
heights
and
in
south
boston
or
colony
in
a
city
where
ninety-seven
percent
of
our
residents
live
within
ten
minutes
walk
distance
to
a
park.
B
B
B
I
want
to
highlight
a
few
more
historic
investments
that
this
year's
capital
plan
makes.
For
the
first
time
we
are
going
to
be
incorporating
our
percent
for
the
arts
program
in
our
capital
plan
by
putting
aside
one
percent
of
our
annual
capital,
borrowing
we'll
invest
1.7
million
dollars
in
public
eye
projects
in
fiscal
2018.
B
B
Once
again,
I
want
to
stress
all
these
capital
investments
wouldn't
be
made
possible
without
the
without
the
input
from
thousands
of
bostonians
across
our
city
and
also
the
taxpayers
in
our
city,
the
homeowners
in
our
city
and
the
business
owners
in
our
city.
Without
your
investment
in
our
city,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
all
this
incredible
investment
in
our
city
to
continue
to
make
our
city
the
best
city
in
the
world.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
letting
us
be
your
voice
be
heard
and
for
helping
us
build
a
stronger
and
better
boston.
C
Thanks
so
much
mayor,
it's
a
wonderful
day
to
be
in
east
boston,
great
day
to
be
in
central
square.
I
love
that
line.
The
mayor
just
said
that
we're
bringing
the
the
capital
plan
to
the
community
is
incredibly
fitting,
because,
honestly,
the
capital
plan
really
came
from
the
community
in
the
first
place.
About
a
month
ago,
mayor
walsh
announced
go
boston,
2030.,
that's
the
city's
long-term
mobility
plan
that
was
really
drafted
by
commissioner
gina
fiandaka
and
her
team
in
the
boston
transportation
department.
C
Already.
The
two
other
big
things
we
heard
from
our
residents
as
we
went
out
and
did
the
go
boston,
2030
planning
process.
They
want
our
streets
to
be
safer,
particularly
for
pedestrians
and
for
cyclists,
and
they
want
our
entire
transportation
network
to
be
much
more
reliable,
particularly
for
folks
who
are
driving
or
who
are
on
buses
and
through
this
plan
through
this
budget,
we're
really
delivering
on
both
those
things.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
one
of
the
things
that's
in
this
capital
plan
is
a
long-term
commitment
to
bring
all
of
our
pavement
markings
our
crosswalks.
C
Our
center
lines,
our
bike
lanes
up
to
a
state
of
good
repair
too
often
in
too
many
places
in
our
city,
those
those
landmarkings
are
too
faded.
We
know
that
a
very
clear
stop
line,
a
very
visible
crosswalk
will
make
a
big
difference
and
help
all
of
our
streets
be
safer
for
everybody.
This
plan
invests
in
that
this
plan
also
invests
in
a
number
of
vision,
zero
interventions,
vision,
zero
is
an
international
effort
to
eliminate
roadway
fatalities
on
city
streets.
C
We've
been
investing
in
this
for
over
a
year
now
the
mayor
announced
this
initiative
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
we've
been
making
quick
critical
investments
in
places
like
the
massab
quarter
in
back
bay
and
codman
square
in
residential
areas
like
the
talbot
norfolk
triangle
and
stony
brook
in
jamaica
plain.
These
are
the
sort
of
things
that
calm
speeds
that
reduce
crashes
that
save
lives.
C
These
are
some
of
the
things
that
are
really
really
important
to
our
residents
to
our
counselors
they've
been
very
clear
about
this,
and
this
budget
continues
to
invest
in
exactly
that.
We
also
know
that
there's
a
huge
opportunity
for
us
to
invest
in
the
next
generation
of
traffic
signal
technology.
C
We
also
know
that
there's
a
series
of
major
sort
of
transformative
investments
that
we
can
make
in
our
city
that
really
support
the
great
long-term
planning
work.
The
mayor
mentioned
with
imagine
boston
as
being
led
by
folks,
like
our
chief
of
planning,
sarah
myerson
and
the
person
meeting.
Imagine
boston,
rebecca
emanuel.
C
These
are
things
like
the
work
we're
doing
in
charlestown,
where
we're
going
to
be
systematically
investing
in
a
number
of
the
key
pieces
of
critical
infrastructure
that
formerly
the
transportation
spine
from
ever
to
downtown
boston.
So
we've
already
invested
in
the
albert
street
bridge
next
up
is
some
design
work
that
jim
glooly,
our
deputy
commissioner
in
the
transportation
department,
is
working
on
in
sullivan
square
and
rutherford.
C
The
final
bit
sort
of
transformational
work
that
I
want
to
highlight
was
some
great
collaborative
work
around
the
whittier
street
development.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
were
fortunate
through
the
work
of
our
chief
of
housing,
sheila
dillon
and
the
work
of
bill
mcgonagall
to
receive
a
grant
from
the
federal
government
to
to
really
improve
the
whittier
street
development
of
the
choice.
C
Neighborhood
program,
we
will
be
investing
in
almost
every
single
street
around
that
development
so
that
we
are
working
together
and
investing
in
our
streets
as
we're
investing
in
our
housing
to
make
sure
there's
a
complete.
Neighborhood
transformation
really
connect
everybody
in
that
neighborhood
with
great
opportunities
throughout
this
entire
region,
and
that's
something
the
mayor
made
very
clear
to
all
of
us
in
his
cabinet.
C
As
we
were
building
this
budget,
which
was,
we
should
not
be
thinking
about
each
of
our
work
in
silos,
but
that
we
should
be
working
together
to
actually
deliver
on
the
aspirations
that
our
residents
have
for
the
city
and
that's
also
very
true
about
the
place.
We're
standing
in
right
now,
which
has
been
an
incredible
cross-departmental.
C
Cross-Cabinet
collaboration
with
folks,
like
charlotte
fleetwood
from
the
transportation
department
who
led
the
planning
and
design
some
folks
from
paris,
shop
par
jai
sings
shop,
who
led
the
engineering.
John
vazela
has
been
leading
the
construction
management,
great
work
from
boston,
water
and
sewer
and
kate
england
to
put
first
of
its
kind
for
us
a
ground,
a
green
infrastructure
into
this
project
and
some
great
work
by
austin
blackman.
Chris
cook.
C
Katie
baker,
eclipse
who
have
been
leading
the
actual
park
work
behind
us
and
all
of
that
work
together,
is
going
to
deliver
a
really
terrific
project
in
east
boston,
and
it's
just
one
of
those
projects
we
couldn't
have
done
without
great
collaboration
from
the
community
and
so
in
all
of
our
projects.
As
we
look
to
to
do
good
work
with
the
community,
we
always
look
for
great
partners,
I'm
very
pleased
to
introduce
a
great
partner
that
we
have
in
east
boston.
E
D
Good
afternoon
to
everybody,
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
My
name
is
dave
aronella,
I'm
a
member
of
the
east
boston,
athletic
board,
the
east
boston
foundation
and
I've
been
coaching
swimming
at
east
boston
high
for
about
40
years
now,
and
a
group
of
my
friends
got
together
and
thought
it
was
a
good
idea
that
I
speak
today
and
I
I
hope
I
don't
let
anybody
down,
I'm
also
a
proud
graduate
of
the
class
of
1970
at
east
boston
high
school.
What
we
like
to
think
is
the
best
class
ever
at
eastie.
D
D
We
will
also
have
the
cunyo
park
reservation
renovation
soon,
and
we
are
in
currently
in
the
community
process
for
the
beautification
of
noise
park
at
orion
heights.
The
community
process
is
also
underway
for
the
relocation
and
modernization
of
our
police
station
here
in
east
boston.
Then
there's
those
energy
friendly
windows
being
installed
at
east
boston,
high
school
and
speaking
of
east
boston
high
school.
We
have
a
lot
to
be
thankful
for
and
as
much
as
that,
our
headmaster
phil
brunger
40,
who
is
present.
D
None
of
us
have
to
be
told
that
east
boston,
height,
east
boston,
cannot
flourish
without
a
dedicated
commitment
to
our
seniors
and
our
youth,
as
well
as
all
of
our
residents
I
want
in
the
preservation
of
open
space
in
our
parks
and
squares,
is
necessary.
Mr
mayor,
and
it's
much
appreciated,
and
we
all
here
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
mayor
walsh
for
not
forgetting
us
on
this
side
of
the
water
and
for
making
east
boston
more
than
just
viable.
It's
now,
hd
and
hd
is
not
high
def.
It's
highly
desirable.
D
These
improvements
to
our
landscape
will
go
a
long
way
towards
an
improving
quality
of
life
in
east
boston.
I
am
confident,
along
with
all
my
friends
and
neighbors,
that
we
can
achieve
the
balance
we
need
here
in
east
boston,
between
development
and
neighborhood
stability.
This
is
the
goal
of
mayor
walsh's
administration,
and
these
projects
are
just
one
more
step
towards
the
realization
of
that
goal.
F
F
F
F
Now,
if
your
life
is
anything
like
my
life,
we're
really
busy,
we
run
from
crisis
to
christ
as
we
attend
to
one
urgent
thing
after
the
other,
and
we
never
have
the
time
and
we
never
give
ourselves
permission
to
take
a
step
back
and
to
think
and
to
imagine
the
future
under
the
mayor's
leadership.
I've
had
the
great
opportunity
of
doing
just
that
on
two
separate
occasions,
one
with
the
city,
small
business
plan
and
one
with
imagine,
boston
2030.
F
F
You
know
these
imagine
boston,
2030,
community
meetings
are
truly
spectacular.
You
have
people
from
the
communities.
You
have
neighbors
people
of
all
ages,
people
of
all
backgrounds,
socioeconomic
backgrounds,
ethnic
backgrounds,
coming
together
to
talk
with
one
another,
to
dialogue,
to
converse
about
real
issues
that
affect
real
people,
whether
it
be
transportation,
whether
it
be
housing,
whether
it
be
infrastructure,
whether
it
be
climate
change,
resilience
and
sea
level,
change,
absolutely
amazing.
F
F
This
is
really
tough
on
our
small
business
community
and
I
want
to
thank
our
small
business
community
in
east
boston.
I
want
to
thank
the
chamber.
I
want
to
thank
the
merchant
association
for
all
the
work
and
effort
you
have
put
in
sustaining
our
small
businesses,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
small
business
owners
for
their
courage
for
their
stick
to
witness
and
particularly
for
their
patience
and
good
humor.
F
F
Absolutely
incredible-
and
this
is
just
one
of
the
many
examples
of
all
of
the
projects
that
are
currently
going
on
in
every
corner
of
boston.
What
an
exciting
time.
So
I
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank
you,
mayor
walsh,
thank
you
for
the
other
elected
officials
who
are
here
today.
It
truly
truly
is
appreciated.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
david
good
afternoon.
Everybody
you
know.
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
welcome
again
to
all
welcome
to
the
new
central
square.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
matt
o'malley.
Thank
you
for
coming
to
east
watson,
the
other
side
of
the
tunnel
and
cause
the
senate
von
quarry
and
representative
agent
madaro.
E
F
E
E
When
you
look
around
east
boston,
the
paris
recreation
center,
wait
until
you
see
that
when
that's
going
to
be
completed
and
that's
12
million
dollars
and
just
renovations
is
going
to
be
a
state
of
art
facility
with
a
new
team
center,
a
computer
lab
a
new
gym
without
the
track.
So
now,
you're
gonna
have
really
have
a
basketball
game
and
I'm
all
new
equipment.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
E
But
like
as
dave
mentioned
in
my
speech,
once
that's
completed
right
once
that's
completed
the
pool's
gonna
close
in
the
fall
and
there's
gonna
be
a
five
million
dollar
investment
in
that
pool
that
pulls
into
an
indoor
outdoor
pool
and
I'm
just
so
excited
because
I
used
to
lifeguard
at
that
pool
many
years
ago
and
taught
swimming
with
david
and
many
years
ago.
On
david,
I
can't
believe
it's
like
30
years
what
happened,
but
I
was
younger
in
those
days,
but
also
there's
other
things
happening.
E
E
E
E
I
went
to
school
right
around
the
corner,
downtown
gary
to
the
lyme
schools.
Our
schools
are
old
and
the
mayor.
Thank
you
for
committing
this
money
and
it's
a
big
commitment
for
the
whole
city
of
boston
to
really
invest
in
our
schools
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
best
school
system
in
the
country
so
mia.
Thank
you
again
on
behalf
of
all
the
people
in
boston.
I
really
appreciate
it.
E
The
committee
on
ways
and
chair.
The
ways
and
means
shares
is
shared
by
counselor
shiomo,
I'm
the
vice
chair,
and
so
over
the
next
few
weeks
we
will
have
hearings
where
all
the
department
heads
will
come
in
front
of
the
city
council
and
and
tell
us
what
they're
doing
with
their
budget
and
what
they
want
to
do.
So
I
look
forward
to
that.
Dave
sweeney
will
be
working
very
closely
with
dave
sweetie
for
the
next
two
months
going
over
the
budget,
and
so
for
that.
E
I
am
confident
that
the
city
council
will
really
examine
both
the
operational
and
the
capital
budget
in
great
detail
and
that
we
will
reach
an
agreement
before
july
1st.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
santa
claus
for
spoiling
my
district
and
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
work,
you're
doing
you're
doing
a
great
job
for
the
city
of
boston,
and
I
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
all
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
really
to
serve
you
all
right.
B
Thank
you
counselor.
I
wonder
why
just
make
one
correction.
I
said
the
capital
budget
was
2
billion,
2.8
billion,
it's
2
billion,
80
million
dollars
just
for
the
press.
So
you
get
it
right
and
the
second
thing
is:
we
thought
this
was
a
good
idea
coming
out
to
communities,
but
after
sal
was
talking,
matt
o'malley
was
taking
notes.
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
it's
such
a
good
idea
anymore.
B
It
was
better.
We
keep
it
quiet,
no,
I'm
only
kidding
that
was
so
great
and
I
I
again
want
to
before
I
take
what
I
want
to
thank
councilman
lamatina
well
plenty
of
time
to
do
that,
but
dedicated
a
large
portion
of
his
life
to
public
service.
He
was
elected,
a
small
portion
of
that,
but
he
started
in
the
city
under
mayor
flynn.
Worked
under
menino
ran
for
rams
city
council,
so
he
served
all
different
levels
of
government.
So
I
want
to
thank
him
for
that.
Any
questions.
B
Allocated
by
the
congress
in
the
senate,
not
to
cut
you
off
sorry,
it
was
allocated
by
the
congress
in
the
senate.
In
order
for
the
president
to
take
that
funds
away,
he
would
have
to
go
and
defy
what
the
congress
and
senate
demand
directed
that
money
towards.
So
I
don't
believe
he
has
the
ability
to
to
divert
that
money
in
any
way
any
shape
or
form,
because
it
was
it
was
mandated
by
the
congress
and
senate
like
we
do
here
in
the
legislature.
B
C
B
Well,
if
it
doesn't
happen,
it
doesn't
come
in.
I
mean
it's
that
simple.
If,
if,
if
the
building
gets
sold
and
we're
able
to
work,
work
work
the
through
the
city
council
legislature
on
the
governor's
desk,
then
it's
worth
153
2
million
dollars
for
the
city
of
boston
for
one
time,
project
plus
12
to
15
million
a
year
in
taxes
which
is
70
percent
of
our
budgets,
based
on
on
real
estate
tax,
but
we're
working
to
a
process.
Now
we've
been.
B
I
don't
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
find
that
type
of
money
at
that
quickness
of
the
pace
would
be
able
to
build
it
in
over
a
five-year
period,
but
but
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
reason
why
we
chose
those
projects.
Was
that
boston
commons
directly
affected
by
it?
It
hasn't
had
a
major
investment,
probably
since
the
beginning
of
time,
franklin,
parks
and
other
ones
in
the
center
of
our
city
and
we've
been
we've
been
kind
of
piecemealing.
You
know
a
million
here,
five
million
there.
B
This
is
an
opportunity
to
get
some
some
serious
money
in
there
orient
heights
housing
development
that
should
start
a
construction
this
year.
There's
one
last
phase
of
that
left
to
go
and
some
of
the
money
we're
using
towards
we
use
those
winter
square
would
go.
It
makes
sense
to
use
for
durian
heights,
because
now
we
100
renovated
and
no
colony
housing
development.
South
boston
is
about
25
million
left
to
be
renovated,
so
that
would
allow
us
to
opportunity,
as
we
as
we
embark
on
other
plans
in
charlestown,
bromley,
heath
and
other
places.
B
B
B
B
250
million
is
going
to
come
from
the
school
building
authority.
The
plan
is
going
to
really
come
to
be
generated
through
the
communities
we're
going
out
to
the
communities,
starting.
I
think,
sometime
in
the
next
several
weeks
to
talk
in
different
neighborhoods
about
what
they
want
to
see
as
far
as
as
far
as
renovations
and
things
like
that
in
the
neighborhoods,
I
used
the
example
of
the
dearborn
school
in
roxbury
when
that
was
being
renovated.
It
was
a
great
six
to
eight
being
renovated.
B
So
you
know
with
east
boston,
would
sit
down
on
the
table
and
talk
about
what
schools
they
want
to
renovate
and
where
we
want
to
go.
Maybe
building
a
new
school
in
east
boston.
Maybe
look
at
doing
something
completely
different
than
what's
here
today,
maybe
taking
all
the
schools
and
say:
okay,
we
want
two
big
schools.
We
want
a
full.
We
want
to
cater
k
to
6
and
a
7
to
12.
I
mean
who
knows
whatever,
whatever
the
community
comes
out
of
that.
B
B
Anything
else
I
want
to
thank,
I
want
to
thank
again.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
all
of
the
the
budget
team.
That's
here
today.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
non-profits
in
east
boston
here.
Thank
you,
for
you
do
every
single
day,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
resident
of
east
boston.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
It's
the
first
time.
We've
ever
done
this.
I
think
it
was
a
success.
