LOS ANGELES—A proposal to end the construction of gas stations took a step forward this week with LA City Councilman Paul Koretz announcing he is drafting such policy to bring before the council by the end of the year.
“We are ending oil drilling in Los Angeles. We are moving to all-electric new construction. And we are building toward fossil fuel free transportation,” Koretz said in a statement. “Our great and influential city, which grew up around the automobile, is the perfect place to figure out how to move off the gas-powered car.”
