Description
Floyd Avenue was repaved back in mid-December, but the city never came back to paint the lane markings. This causes confusion as to where the lanes are and drivers tend to drive in the middle of the road causing unsafe conditions.

Also, have you ever tried calling the City main number without knowing what department you need? A huge exercise in futility.

Was just told the following by the city 311 - The city has until April 20, 2015 to investigate this concern.
This would be FOUR months of unsafe conditions....no center lane marking, speeding, stop sign running, and pedestrians without crosswalks.
It is disturbing something as basic and needed as road markings can sit undone for months while the city investigates why they weren't painted to begin with. My guess (just a guess), they are holding off to wait and see if they can paint bike lanes. Way to put safety first RVA!

Jon Baliles mentioned this at the MDA town hall last week. The Public Works director told him they are waiting for Bike Boulevard work to start before painting lines, so they don't have to tear up or patch pavement afterwards.
If that's the case, not sure why they installed the ADA sidewalk corners. Those will need to be torn up during bike boulevard work too, and I assume those were a lot more expensive than line painting.
