Siesta Seen COUNTY STAFF HOPES THE SIESTA STORMWATER DRAINAGE PROJECT WILL GET UNDER WAY AGAIN THIS WEEK; SKA DRAWS PLENTY OF INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP VOLUNTEERS By Rachel Brown Hackney Editor If the weather cooperates, the contractor for the stormwater project adjacent to Siesta Public Beach should be able to start pumping water off the site by late this week or early next week, the Sarasota County engineer in charge of the project told members of the Siesta Key Association (SKA) on Oct. 3. Alex Boudreau also clarified one point about the nature of the project that was the focus of some debate last week: It will not alleviate flooding on Beach Road.
