Councillors have been deeply divided on the issue for months, with a vote in July ending in a 5-5 tie to keep the ban in place
Vancouver city council has voted narrowly to maintain its ban on natural gas for heating and water in new buildings, despite arguments that the bylaw was driving up the cost of new housing.
ABC Councillor Rebecca Bligh, who had voted in July to eliminate the ban, changed her vote on Wednesday, saying council had incomplete and incorrect information in the first vote – a pointed criticism of other councillors in her party. At the Wednesday meeting, Mayor Ken Sim and four other ABC councillors voted to proceed with eliminating the ban. They were tied with three ABC councillors and the two Green Party members.
