Citing health, noise and environmental concerns, Dallas officials are developing plans to phase out the use of gas-powered tools for city departments,...
. It’s the first state to do so.
Recommendations for a transition plan have already been proposed by the city’s environmental commission, which in August called for the city government to first start decreasing its use of gas-powered landscaping equipment, then allow large landscaping companies to start transitioning the next year, followed by medium-sized groups the year after that, and residents and small businesses 12 months later.
“My biggest concern is the impact to small minority business owners and residents,” Bazan said. “I think the transition by 2027 is feasible, we just have to ensure that the city does the outreach and the engagement and that impacted communities are not left behind on this.” A second option suggests a full ban by 2027. The city would stop using the equipment over four years starting next year; the largest businesses would transition starting in 2024, and all other businesses and residents would transition over three years beginning in 2025.
