East end of Sprague too dusty and rough

Speaking of dust problems!

Sprague Avenue from Sullivan to Barker is something else for dust. Nobody oils or paves the edges. You get behind a bus or cars that pull off and you can’t see. You’d think they could oil the edges and then they wonder why pollution. The more traffic the worse it gets.

I live just off of Sprague and you wash your car and the next morning you’d not know it was washed. Also, Sprague is so rough and in need of repair it’s a wonder the tail pipes stay on the cars. Leslie McCallum Veradale
