An expected improvement in my hometown

My home town is a small village in southern China. It used to be very quiet and clean. Unfortunately, there has been a sharp increase in the amount of traffic on the road that goes across the small village, which makes the environment rather poor in the neighborhood. I believe that a slight diversion in the road would make that place more livable.
Anyway, the situation is that about 10 years ago, coal was discovered there. Almost in no time, mining has become the pillar of the local economy. Most of the local households have become much richer than before. But there is a problem. The road across the village, which used to have very little traffic of vehicles, has become very busy. As a result, in dry weather the neighborhood is very dusty.
In my opinion, it would be great if the traffic can be diverted away from the populated area. Not only that, there are a lot of toddlers in the village. Such a great of amount traffic must be a potential risk for them. A few road sprinklers would improve the environment dramatically by making the place less dusty. I often wear a mask to avoid the impact of dust when I return to my hometown.
If all the changes I mentioned took place, the local area would become more pleasant.
