Alexandria officials want to hear from individuals and organizations with ideas regarding development of a Bolton Avenue site as location for a relocated bus transfer station.

The one-time headquarters of Rush Cleaners at 210 Bolton Avenue first must be rid of chemical pollutants detected in soil and water to 32 feet.

Demolition of improvements on the property, a laundry operation for about 50 years, began with a contract awarded in May 2024.

The city’s has a Brownfield cleanup and redevelopment grant from the federal government through 2028.

A condition of the continuing grant process is hearing from the public regarding use of the restored tract.

The city proposes to move the transfer station (dubbed a Mobility Hub as it incorporates first mile-last mile vehicle sharing, bicycle and pedestrian connections) from 2nd & Murray to the Rush site, a locale more suitable to current transit commuter usage and part of a Bolton Avenue rejuvenation plan.

The discussion with project consultants will be August 14 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at the Bolton Avenue Community Center, 315 Bolton.

Written comments can be directed to cda.cityofalex.com or City of Alexandria, 625 Murray Suite 7, Alexandria 71301, Attn: Chad Reed.
