In his third State of the City address Tuesday night, Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh spoke of his administration's successes and plans for the future.

Walsh campaigned on a promise of universal pre-kindergarten, and Tuesday night laid out a funding plan to further pre-school opportunities for Boston's children.

The mayor promised to use the $100 million revenue from the sale of the Winthrop Square Garage to invest in neighborhoods, bring a library back to Chinatown, and create trauma teams to aid families after violence.

Walsh also announced a $1 billion plan to renovate and build schools.
Addressing crime, Walsh noted that along with major crime being down 9%, arrests were also down 25%. There were 45 murders last year.
Continuing on his mission to reduce traffic, pedestrian, and bike deaths, Walsh announced a plan to bring state-of-the-art traffic lights to Boston.
