A street in my town (in Canada) already has 4 gas stations and there are 3 new ones being built. Granted, it is close to a major highway... but 7 gas stations in a 2km stretch seems crazy to me, especially given the (seemingly) inevitable shift to EVs.

It's especially obnoxious given that remediation of gas stations sites after the fact is extremely expensive. Or at least has been, maybe they're being built to a higher standard now.

Sadly, that's rather common here in the US.
