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.

âI am super excited about the long-term effects for the city,â Smith said.
Smith and his wife Mary own Tri-Cities Behavioral Therapy at 321 W. Walnut St., which serves children with autism spectrum disorder. They moved to the spot about a year ago, and although Smith has some concerns about traffic issues cropping up over the course of the project, he doesnât expect his business will be severely impacted.
He particularly appreciates efforts to slow traffic along the roadway and the new green space planned for the corridor.
âProgress is hard, and I hear some of us are in for some growing pains,â Smith said, âbut I think the growing pains are going to make this city a much better place to learn, play, exist, live.â
