    PG&E dug up gas lines in front of 163 and 167 Maitland Drive, and destroyed portions of the concrete sidewalk. And they did a poor job patching it up using black asphalt. Not only is it unsightly but it's a trip hazard. Please repair with real concrete. Thank you!

    We need speed lumps on Maitland Drive. There are sooo many bikers, and young children riding bikes with their families, due to this pandemic and more cars using this street as a short-cut. Vehicles including empty city buses are not slowing down. It's unsafe. And I am tired of hearing the same old story. Something MUST be done!!!!! I don't care how many duplicate and triplicate messages you see here. It's been over 10 + years and our street is unsafe, unsightly and nothing, nothing has been done worth noting. Not even cross walks or bike lanes for residents living in the neighborhood. Give me a break! Time to WAKE UP City of Alameda and smell another accident brewing!!!!!!

    Dead Animal Archived
    324 Maitland Dr Alameda, CA, 94502, USA - Alameda
    There is a dead animal between 322-324 Maitland Drive. Pleae pick up. I called the cops @ 6am this morning and it is now 7pm and the dead animal is still lying there. Vehicles are moving into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting the dead animal. This can cause a major head on collision. Please pick up asap! Recology will be here tomorrow Monday am to pick up recyle on Maitland. They will just run it over again, making a bigger mess. People are driving way to fast on this streer. We need something done soon!!!!

    Please pick up dead animal between 322-324 Maitland Drive. Cars are driving into oncoming traffic to avoid running over the dead animal. This can cause a major head-on accident. I called the Alameda police non-emergency number at 6 am this morning since there was no Animal control at this time. It is now 6:30pm and the dead animal is still lying out on the street. Tomorrow the big recology trucks will come and pick up recycle bins in the morning on Maitland only to run over the critter again if not removed. Please pick up dead animal!! BTW If we had speed bumps, maybe this will happen less often!!

    Maitland Drive from Island to Harbor Bay Parkways is so dangerous. AC Transit buses, cars, commercial trucks barrel through this street at least 40 plus miles per hour if not more. The long blocks encourage drivers to drive faster. I am requesting that the City of Alameda install speed lumps and proper bike lanes like on Bayview in Alameda to physically slow down traffic. They have marked bike lanes, cross walks, and speed lumps. Let this street serve as a great example for other Alamedians. Let Alameda serve as a great example for the rest of the community and to other neighboring cities for the safety of their streets.
    I lived on this street for many years and have seen traffic increase on this street with more people moving here and commuting via Bart or Ferry. I have gone to City Hall in Alameda -7 years ago in fact- regarding speed to no avail. They conducted their 2-week study only to find that this did not warrant any safety measures on this street. That it was okay for people to travel 15-25 miles over the speed limit and the other 20% for them to travel 35 miles over the speed limit.
    I've seen kids playing, school children walking, a family of bikers, seniors walking, and dog walkers and vehicles do not slow down. Every time I put the recycle bins and garbage out or attempt to get into my car, a speeding car comes inches from me without even slowing down. Typically they are not people who live on this street but people passing through in a hurry like a freeway. Think of a freeway and then think of Maitland Drive. There are no proper marked bike lanes, one pedestrian cross walk, no 25mph sign anywhere along Maitland except on the far end, no digital feedback machines like on Fernside, the roads are old and crusty, and of course no speed lumps. Police rarely enforce the speed on Maitland and in fact, I rarely see them on Maitland. The animal control officer that I spoke to a few times here couldn't believe how fast cars were speeding down this street. She told me to contact the traffic patrol officer but no one called me back from that department.
    I've lost 10 pets due to the vehicles hitting them and also seen car accidents due to speed. I am afraid that one day it will take a loss of a human life for the City of Alameda to do anything to make our street safer. It's unfortunate but sometimes this is the only way to install any safety measures.
    Every day I see AC Transit buses, trucks, and vehicles speed through because nothing is stopping them. So frustrating. I contact Public works almost daily to have something done but this is probably not the best place to start so I will start on this website.
