Gas stations in downtown Vancouver are quickly going the way of the dodo bird, driven out by the city's astronomical real estate values. Chevron announced last year it was considering selling off one of the last two remaining downtown stations on West Georgia Street near Bidwell. Once it's gone there would be no more gas stations in downtown Vancouver. The land value of the West Georgia Chevron was pegged at $32.8-million by B.C. "I really don't think there will be much of an impact from not having a gas station downtown, particularly for local residents."
