Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and other city officials and community leaders have announced a five year, $1.8 billion capital plan that will transform Boston’s neighborhoods, streets and learning and recreational facilities.

The project includes 341 projects across Boston and covers the building and maintenance of the city’s infrastructure, including roads, buildings, key technology projects and inclusive play space.

The FY14-18 capital plan will create nearly 460 construction jobs in FY 2014. Ninety parks improvement projects with an expected cost of $100 million account for more than a quarter of all capital projects.

Other projects include making improvements to Upham’s Corner and Central Square, building children and teen spaces in Copley Square’s Central Library, and expanding the Elliot School in the North End.

"Our city draws its strength from its neighborhoods, and this year’s capital plan will make our neighborhoods better for all of the families that live in our city," Menino said in a statement.
