Fix the Pedestrian Crossing near Crozet Pizza

We need to do better

• Three weeks ago, I submitted to VDOT a request for road repair using their handy-dandy submission tool.
• A week later, it was noted as being “resolved” on their site.
• The case was “resolved,” but nothing was fixed.

Each time I ride, walk, drive past this terrible pedestrian crossing, I get more irritated at the fact that the only safe way to cross from one side of Crozet to the other is broken and unsafe.

We ostensibly want a more bikeable and walkable community, but can’t even have a safe way to cross from one side of the road to another?

While we’re at it, what about sidewalks?

Years ago, there was a pedestrian light there, but it was hit, and never replaced. Looking at photos I have in that location, it was broken before November 2016.

It would be cool if this pedestrian crossing in downtown Crozet could have similar lights as the new one at Harris Teeter.

Seriously. How hard could it be to make this crossing more safe, and done in under 45 days? @VaDOTCULP @AlbemarleCounty pic.twitter.com/RbnuGLHpg8

No particular relevance between this story and this photo, but I saw it when browsing photos of this part of Crozet, and liked it.
