WILKES-BARRE, Pa. Bumps, potholes, and crumbling patches are found on some of the 600 streets in Wilkes-Barre. Mayor George Brown asked council to approve paving projects and applications for grants to help solve problems like this for drivers in the city. Who would not be in favor of fixing the roads? I mean, I m sure every council member in their respective districts gets a call saying, you know we have a problem with this street and that street, said Mayor Brown.
Council s vote to work on the roads was unanimous in favor of it.
