The construction of new gas stations is now off-limits in Santa Rosa. The Santa Rosa City Council unanimously approved the ban on Tuesday night. The vote also bans the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure, like new gas pumps, at existing gas stations. Santa Rosa is the fifth city in Sonoma County to ban new gas stations. Petaluma became the first city in the nation to do so last year. Then, this year, it was followed by Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, and Cotati. Windsor town officials are expected to consider a similar ordinance on September 7th.
