To the Editor:
Regarding the “PRSD Presents Reno Project to Eagleswood” article in your Nov. 2 edition, I was appalled by the response given by Deputy Mayor Debra Rivas to the request for a streetlight on Sprague Avenue.
As a visitor to Sprague Avenue, I can assure you that safety is definitely an issue due to the lack of a streetlight. You cannot be seen nor can you see anything beyond the end of any driveway. To walk in the street after dark for any reason, even to access a parked vehicle, is treacherous.
