Alton rolls out new signs to protect children with autism from speeding drivers
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Alton is introducing new safety signs in a neighborhood to protect children with autism and reduce speeding. Residents have expressed concerns about fast drivers, with Veronica Salinas, a local parent, sharing her fears for her 5-year-old daughter who has autism. A new sign was installed to encourage drivers to slow down, and Salinas hopes it will be effective. This initiative was prompted by a parent’s request regarding speeding issues. Alton's Public Works Director, Mauro Sandoval, noted that over 55 residents have requested signs, particularly near Sylvia Vela Park. Each sign costs $75, which the city will cover.
