Denver Post (This article continues in ADAPT 115 but the entire text is included here for easier reading.) "Talk,” Judge Tells RTD, Atlantis By Howard Pankratz Denver Post Legal Affairs Writer Citing what he fears to be increased “polarization” between some of the Denver’s handicapped citizens and the Regional Transportation District, a Denver judge Thursday abruptly halted a hearing involved the two parties, called them into his chambers and asked that they negotiate a settlement to their dispute. The unusual action by Denver District Judge Daniel Sparr came in the midst of a hearing on RTD’s request that Sparr ban some handicapped people from engaging in disruptive demonstrations on RTD property and buses. At all cost, said the judge, he wanted to avoid an “us against them” climate. “It appears it is a confrontation that is not going to do anybody any good,” he said. On January 4, 5 and 6, handicapped individuals, some organized by the Atlantis Community for the disabled, demonstrated at various RTD offices protesting a decision by the RTD Board of Directors not to place wheelchair lifts on 89 high-capacity, articulated buses slated to be added to the RTD bus fleet in 1983. Many of the estimated 16,000 handicapped people in the Denver area feel that the district broke a promise to them when the lifts weren’t provided. Sparr said he felt that if he had to issue a temporary restraining order against the handicapped at the end of the hearing it could only lead to increased polarization and animosity between the district and the handicapped, something he said needs to be avoided. The judge noted that if that order, or subsequent orders were violated, it might result in contempt citations, fines and jail terms for handicapped people.

Handicapped reach accord RTD Wheelchair-bound demonstrators and the Regional Transportation District reached an “understanding” Friday in a conflict that led the bus company to seek a restraining order against the demonstrators a week ago. Both sides “agreed to agree,” according to RTD spokeswoman Kathy Joyce, who said they would work out the details of the agreement before the issue comes before Denver District Judge Daniel Sparr on Feb. 2 During that time, Sparr will make no decision on RTD’s request for the temporary restraining order. If a formal agreement is reached by Feb. 2, Joyce said the request would be dropped. The demonstrators began staging a sit-in at RTD’s headquarters Jan. 4 over the company’s decision not to place wheelchair lifts on 89 new buses scheduled for delivery next year. The wheelchair-bound activists were from the Atlantis Community and Holistic Approaches to Independent Living Inc. Several of the demonstrators chained themselves to stairwells in the main lobby of the building at 1600 Blake St., and others blocked the front entrance during the demonstration. Their anger was directed at RTD Executive Director L.A. Kimball, whom they blame for the decision to omit the lifts from the new buses. During the sit-in, the building’s elevators were shut off, making it impossible for the demonstrators to reach Kimball’s office. The demonstrators weren’t arrested, but they were escorted from the premises by police and paramedics. RTD requested the temporary restraining order against the demonstrators after the third day of protest, claiming the demonstration caused “disruption, obstruction and interference.” John Holland, an attorney representing the demonstrators, said the issues that led to the demonstrations are still alive, but that both sides will work out their differences in the next two and a half weeks in a climate of more open communication. He said that during that tie his clients will not be “disruptive.”
