Why would state officials even be doing anything on city streets? Orlando should just treat it as vandalism and repaint it.

Because Orange Ave, the street the crosswalk is parallel to, is a state road and falls under FLDOT, so the crosswalk is likely part of their jurisdiction rather than a city street, sadly.
