Q: Do you think Sprague should go back to being a two-way street?

Edna Ferguson: “No, it should stay the way it is. It was murder trying to get home in the evening when it was two-way. It was bumper to bumper at rush hour.”

Frank Alberti: “I think it should stay the way it is … less congestion … a lot of the businesses feel it’s hurt them but to change it back would be hard. People have gotten used to the way it is. I can’t see any advantage to changing it back.”

Mark Emmanuel: “No, it doesn’t really matter to me. I’ve gotten used to it. I don’t have much interest in anything west of here anyways.”

Clint Crawford: “Yeh, I think it should. I think a lot of people are used to it being two-way … I’ve seen people driving the wrong way on the one-way. It’s a major pain to have to go back and turn around when you’ve missed your stop and businesses have dropped off.”

Jan Mettler: “Yes, I do. I don’t think it’s fair to businesses to have such poor access and visibility.”

Q: Five people were randomly approached at Frank’s Franks hot dog stand at Sprague Avenue
