Proponents want to push half the street's traffic onto Couch Street for a more pedestrian friendly environment on Burnside. The Burnside Bridge would remain two-way. The project is set to be implemented within the next five years, if $40 million in funding becomes available. , I A K A |_ L -A A IV I L Portland communities o f Arbor Lodge. Boise, Bridgeton.

(AP) — A Portland business man has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Bank, claiming he was refused ser vice because he was wearing sun glasses, looked suspicious and is black. Xavier Allen, 38, seeks unspeci fied monetary damages for “embar rassment, humiliation, anxiety and pain.” On Aug. 30, 2001, Allen was wearing sunglasses and a Panama- style hat as he waited to deposit money from his catering business at an east Portland branch. U.S. Bancorp officials say a su pervisor asked Allen to remove the glasses as a security precaution. He removed them, but by the time he reached the teller, she refused to serve him and told him to go to another line. A white customer in the bank at the same time as Allen was allowed to do business while wearing sun glasses, the complaint says. A llen, ow ner o f Hot Dog Extraordinaire and Extraordinaire Catering, said he later sent two of his white employees into the bank wearing the same sunglasses and hat. Both times, the men made their deposits without a word from bank officials, according to the complaint.
