Siesta Seen McGregor told the approximately 20 people at the meeting, "We haven't had any significant accidents [at that intersection]. We haven't had any significant complaints," he added, so he was uncertain why FDOT took the step to implement the "No Right on Red" rule. Chastanna Nieman, events and office manager for the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce, said, "The Chamber has been getting a lot of phone calls. We're usually the complaint center." McGregor also pointed out that while deputies do see people jaywalking often in the Stickney Point Road intersection area, they are reluc- tant to write citations in those situations. Condominium complexes line that stretch of Midnight Pass Road, and many of the peo- ple staying in those condos during season are visitors.
