From launching @DASHBus electric buses, opening affordable housing to honoring our public servants, and standing up for democracy with @AlexVADems—it’s been a powerful week of progress in Alexandria. Grateful for the partnerships that keep us moving forward!
Mayor Alyia Gaskins and city leaders cut a ceremonial ribbon in front of two electric buses marked “BLUE + YELLOW” and “COMMUTER CHOICE PROGRAM” at a launch event inside a bus depot. Mayor Gaskins stands with a group of health care and public safety professionals inside a bright room, smiling together in front of a window with trees visible outside. Mayor Gaskins and city officials in hard hats participate in a groundbreaking ceremony, holding shovels in front of construction equipment and a banner for Harkins Builders. Mayor Gaskins poses with Congressman Don Beyer and Linda Sanchez at an indoor event with a sign reading “Rosie’s Bar,” all smiling in evening attire under blue lighting.
