SHREVEPORT, La. -- A historic preservationist has convinced the city to hit the brakes on a $2 million dollar traffic light project. But preserving the character of the intersection of Kings Highway and Line Avenue could come at a higher cost. The city's contractor has agreed to pause construction after putting four big metal poles in the ground at all four corners. Christopher Coe complained to the city council that the big, standard style of poles -- and eventually the arms holding the lights -- will detract from the two historic buildings at that intersection. Both Byrd High school and Kings Highway Christian Church were built in 1925, and are on the National Historic Registry.
