Crossings at intersection of Lakeside Drive, Breezewood Drive, and Jefferson Ridge Parkway extremely worn or nonexistent

[partytax]

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/37.39611/-79.22852

West crossing of Lakeside Drive is signalized, but the crossing is painted over only one out of six lanes. The small part that is painted is extremely worn. Crossings of Breezewood Drive are signalized, but very worn and hardly visible. East crossing of Lakeside Drive is signalized, but completely unpainted!

Made personal task to take pictures of intersection and crosswalks to determine present state.

Please forward to public works, providing a confirmation number or ticket number to me if possible. Thank you for your time.

ATTN: Public Works
The intersection of Lakeside Drive, Breezewood Drive, and Jefferson Ridge Parkway has several crosswalks that are very worn and several signalized crossings that are missing crosswalks. Please survey the condition of the crosswalk paint at this intersection and apply high visibility [continental] crosswalks at your earliest convenience. I have traversed this intersection several times on foot, and once was nearly hit by a vehicle--motorists do not seem to know there are pedestrian crossings here. Thank you for your time and hard work in maintaining Lynchburg infrastructure!

Not requesting status update because it has been confirmed that it is on contractor's list to repair.

Not repaired as of last Sunday. Will not request status because it's already "added to the list for contractor to refresh".
