On July 5 and 6 1978, this intersection was the site of the first demonstration for wheelchair accessible public transportation.

Nineteen members of the Atlantis Community chanting "We Will Ride" blocked buses with their wheelchairs, staying in the streets all night.

Twelve years later the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed by the United States Congress and signed by the President on July 26, 1990 ordering all public buses wheelchair accessible.
