President and Chancellor Renu Khator approved an intensive, full-depth pavement replacement of Cullen Boulevard between Elgin and Wheeler beginning in May at the proposal of the City of Houston.
Cullen Boulevard, a sore topic for many student drivers, will undergo the proposed renovations of over 76,000 square feet of road. The construction will be designed to last more than 10 years, according to the resolution that the Board of Regents passed in Monday’s special session meeting at the Hilton UH.
The city is proposing to renovate about 37.81 percent of the total area between Elgin and Wheeler.
