Airborne dust affecting residents living along unpaved streets; motorists asked to slow down
As the dry season continues, residents across the subdivisions around San Pedro Town are experiencing issues with the excess airborne dust caused by motorists and large trucks. Those living along the main unpaved streets are the most affected, and they are appealing to the authorities to water the dusty roads as done in the past routinely. While the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) has taken advantage of the dry period to continue rehabilitating streets, they are aware of the situation. They ask those affected to call their offices at 226-2198 so they can prioritize and better address the issue. At the same time, motorists are asked to be considerate and avoid speeding in residential areas.
