Responded to the resident, explained why the requested sign is not typically installed, and advised that the reported stop-sign compliance concern will receive a brief review.
Other: Requesting autistic child area signs. We live at the corner of Sheffield and Park Ridge, the stop sign is frequently ran. My son is 11 and has autism. He is non verbal and a high risk for elopement. My hope is these signs would slow drivers down and encourage them to stop should my son ever elope.

Thank you for telling us about your son and the drivers you’ve seen go through the stop sign. I understand why that is especially concerning for your family. We don’t typically install signs identifying a child with a disability. Those signs have not been shown to reliably slow drivers, and I would rather focus on the stop-sign compliance issue you described. We’ll log that concern for a brief review of the intersection. If you’ve noticed particular times when drivers are more likely to run the sign, that would help us. You can also find information about the City’s neighborhood traffic calming program if speeding on Sheffield is a broader concern. https://bloomington.in.gov/tcgp
