Daily News 3/6/88 PHOTO by John McCoy, Daily News: Two men in wheelchairs [Bill Bolte on right and Charles Henderson on left] wield heavy sledge hammers on a curb. Behind them several other folks in wheelchairs hold signs as a man with a camera films the action. The signs read "Building A Better Way" and "Build Access for All." Caption reads: Charles Henderson, left and Bill Bole hammer at curb, demand wheelchair access to Walk of Fame Disabled protest lack of access by chipping Walk of Fame curbs By Beth Barrett, Daily News staff writer HOLLYWOOD —- About 40 people in wheelchairs took turns chipping at the Hollywood Walk of Fame Saturday in a symbolic attempt to create curb cuts for handicapped access to the famous sidewalk where stars bearing the names of celebrities are inlaid. "Walk of Shame," chanted members of the Southern California Chapter of American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit as they gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. They then took turns using a sledgehammer and hammer to scar two curbs. Police officers made no arrests, partly because the damage was minimal, and also because city officials have indicated steps will be taken within the next two weeks to provide better access to the sidewalk, said Los Angeles police Lt. Dan Watson. Dianne Piastro, of North Hollywood, was among demonstrators who said the destruction was necessary to illustrate to public officials the need for curb cuts in Hollywood and elsewhere in the city. “We've been serving on committees, writing letters, and doing access studies for years, but have gotten nowhere," Piastro said. “No one gives you rights. You have to demand them." William Bolte, of Westchester, said the landmark Mann's Chinese Theater has tailored its restrooms so they can easily be reached and used by handicapped people, but that without curb cuts in the sidewalk those disabled individuals cannot get to the theater. Bolte said state and federal laws require curb cuts to be installed whenever existing sidewalks are remodeled, which ADAPT interprets to mean every time another celebrity star is set in the concrete. “The private sector's response is better than the public response.“ Bolte said. Yvonne Nau, a Tarzana woman who was the first person to swing the sledgehammer, said. “It felt constructive. We've asked for curb cuts. and gotten nothing.“ Following Saturday's protest, Bolte said the group intends to protest lack of access on a commuter bus between Orange County and Los Angeles.

Denver Post PHOTO by Fred Nelson, The Denver Post: Disabled people form a line as they picket. 3 face away, one of whom has an ADAPT NOW! sign on the back of his wheelchair. Facing forward, a man with a very short haircut wearing a baseball type jacket and necktie, has a sign that reads "Let us USE tokens, not BE tokens. Accessibility Now!" caption reads: Kent Jones of Chicago travelled to Denver to participate in this week's demonstration urging accessibility to public transit for the handicapped. [Headline] Handicapped Seek Change in Public Transit By George Lane, Denver Post Staff Writer Several dozen wheelchairs jammed the sidewalk of the Denver Hilton Hotel on Sunday afternoon as disabled activists from throughout the country urged public transportation be made more accessible to the handicapped. The rolling demonstration took place in front of the Hilton because the hotel is the headquarters for about 3,000 U.S and Canadian transportation officials attending the national meeting of the American Public Transit Association. Representatives of the group, the American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit, are scheduled to speak to the transit officials Wednesday, but a spokesman said they were on the sidewalks Sunday “to let them know they were serious.” Bob Conrad, an executive of Denver Atlantis Community Inc. and one of the wheelchair-bound demonstrators, said the purpose of attending the transit convention was to call the need for accessible public transportation to the attention of transit officials and bus manufacturers. “California has had a law for about 12 years saying all buses purchased must be accessible to all person, including riders in wheelchairs,” said Lew Nau of Los Angeles. “Michigan is the only other state I know of with a similar law.” Nau and his wife, Yvonne, both in wheelchairs, said they have devoted all their efforts since retirement to the issue. The couple said that during the Carter administration all public transit agencies were subject to a regulation that said 50 percent of all buses purchased had to be accessible to handicapped people. “The (regulation) was our civil rights act,” Mrs. Nau said. “Now Reagan has in effect rolled it back.”
