I understand your preference for the City to facilitate repairs. Unfortunately, we don’t have a set timeline for repairs yet. If you have any additional concerns in the meantime, you're welcome to call or email me directly.
Thanks for reaching out. This stretch of sidewalk is on our radar for needed repairs. If you or a contractor you hire would like to tackle this, the City will give you up to $400 towards repairs with the proper receipts. If you have further questions, please let me know.

This is my latest submission to the Cumberland Times-News and to another law-enforcement agency. I don't know why I bother since Frostburg Police are completely incapable, as evidenced by the numerous submissions I have made regarding my daughter's kidnapping. Do not try to tell me that law enforcement cares about either one of us -- that would be the biggest canard (or bull-shit story) of all time. I hope both the town and its lousy police department suffer for it. This what fast-food police work (see Feb. 12, 2021) leads to: the disintegration of the public's trust.
Thank you for bringing these concerns to my attention.
Unfortunately, the City is not authorized to touch lines on utility poles. I will reach out to the utility company to see if they will address the downed lines.
I will pass your sewage smell concern along for further investigation.

Hello.
There are multiple downed phone/cable lines along Washington St., such as 131 Washington St. The utility companies do not seem to care. These are still a risk for children and encourage kids to jump and try to touch them, which could actually be dangerous if they were electrical lines. I witnessed kids doing that very thing on that line at 131 Washington St. After a storm or something, it could very well be an electrical line that the kids try to jump up and touch. It would be nice if the city could take of these lines or encourage the utility companies to remove them.
