Oiled roads solution for the dust problem in San Antonio
The city could curb dust with sprayed oil on streets at about two cents per square yard. Government-led oil application on post roads shows the method works, costing roughly 704 dollars per mile annually, far less than the current 2 million dollars yearly waste on muddy streets. The math compares to a proposed city budget of 217,798 for paving and repairs.
