Existing gas stations wouldn't be forced to close, but would be considered "legally non-compliant" — and wouldn't be able to add new pumps. 'Missing climate targets'Arbour says it's time to try new things in order to fight climate change, especially given this week's dire report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He applauds any municipality that looks for ways to mitigate climate change, but says there are more effective ways to do it.

But he hopes a zoning change would nudge private companies, like gas stations, to invest in zero emission infrastructure too.
