The Louisville, Colorado, City Council is unanimous in its support to cap the number of gas stations within city limits as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Louisville, which is about 20 miles outside of Denver in Boulder County, has five gas stations for its 21,000 residents. The new ordinance, approved last week, allows for the completion of a previously approved sixth stations.
Any new gas stations that want to open within city limits in the future, should any existing stations close, will need to be at least 1,000 feet from any other gas station and will be required to install electric vehicle charging stations.
