Is it on a TLRN road? May not be @transportforlondon.bsky.social responsibility.

I'm assuming red lines = TfL but happy to be told otherwise.
No problem with a better crossing but this looks like a cheap job.
Could have lost the central hatching, widened both pavements over say 50m, kept lanes in place for all etc.

Your solutions seem sensible. I was just wondering who exactly the Highway Authority is there.

at the very least it only made an already shitty looking cycle path into an even shitter one

Oh, that looks like they employed someone from Plymouth City Council, as Plymouth is full of those. Only, without the added slightly diagonal white lines, and without the "Cyclists merging" signs.

Oh, did they see Essex County Council's hatchet job from about 10yrs ago? https://bsky.app/profile/2-wheeled-wolf.bsky.social/post/3ll7klfjx5s2e
