THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD KM Business Association opposes traffic light change The members of Kings Mountain Business & Professional Association went on record at the recent meeting at Town and Country Restaurant opposing the change in traffic lights downtown and authorized a letter to City Council to protest the change. Local attorney Chuck Wilson said the removal of a traffic light at the intersection of Mountain and Battleground may endanger pedestrians. He also questioned the removal of parking spaces, saying the change in the traffic system is making it difficult to cross the road from the parking area to the Main Street stores. "We are also concerned about the need to slow traffic down- town," said Wilson.
