Siesta Seen number of people jamming up their street with vehicles. In late June, one Roberts Point Road resident emailed the commissioners, urging them to install "No Parking" signs along the street up to the first turn. "Please take this into seri- ous consideration," the woman added, noting that she was sending the board members a number of signed petitions in support of the request. She included a photo of a syringe, pointing out that it was one of many that had been found near residences where young chil- dren live. Deputy Chris McGregor of the Sheriff's Office alluded to the parking situation last week during his report at the Siesta Key Village Association (SKVA) meeting. "Now what scares me is across the street [from North Shell Road]," he said, adding that he had talked with residents of Roberts Point Road over the past several weeks about their woes. In response to the email the woman resident sent the county commissioners, Chairman Charles Hines put her in contact with Paula Wiggins, the county's transportation plan- ning manager. On June 26, Wiggins emailed the resident a copy of the form for her and her neighbors to use in petitioning action of the county's Traffic Advisory Council (TAC). She directed the resident to return the form to another county staff member, along with the letters and photos the resident had refer- enced in her email to the commissioners.
