Well according to the plans closing cullen between wheeler and holman is part of phase 1. I think Phase 2 will include closing all of cullen to auto traffic. But I am not completely sure. But the closing is encouraging and if they can expedite the complete closure it would be fantastic. lets get it going!

I hope this has a positive effect on TSU! TSU has a reputation as a commuter school as well. TSU is expeirencing expansion as well, with all the new contruction on campus. But I am not sure where else the University can expand its boundaries. Plus, right now TSU has a real bad problem with its leadership either fairly or unfairly added to that is the possibility of take over. At one time I think I heard a rumor of A&M taking over the institution but I am not sure. If the take over was to happen I would hope UH would be the institution of choice. Sort of like Atlanta-Clarke Univerisity in Atlanta, Ga. TSU-H could be the name of the institution. Just brainstorming, not hoping this would happen, but I would not like TSU affiliated with UT or A&M due to its proximity to UH. But the college age cummunity (utopia) would also involve and encompass TSU.

Yes I was reading that as well. but this "new road" is this Wheeler ave or an extended Cleburne St. I know I am asking a lot at this time but I am excited about the expansion. Also I see the Metro has approved the Light Rail (BRT) to go along the Wheeler street onto MLK route. I wonder if Metro will change its plans on the Bus option and make it Rail instead. It will do wonders for the university. Why is everyone hush hush about the MacGregor Parcel of land?

Thanks for the link, glad to know UH is thinking about beautifying the campus. Honestly I was looking for a quantitative expansion instead of a qualitative expansion. With adjacent properties available to UH like the aformentioned proposed Olympic village and the pending sale of the macgregor park spur 5 land. I wanted to see if those were possibilities in the future. Thanks a bunch again for the links.

Where exactly on their website?

I am not sure if the topic has been covered. However the once proposed Olympic Village that would have housed the Olympic atheletes would have benefited UH in the long run. This village would have encompassed everything to the east of Scott Street, North of Elgin, West of Cullen and South of I-45. Houston's Olympic bid was later rejected. Those houses or apartments would likely have become student houses afterwards. This would have had the potential to make UH a less commuter school and giving the students a on-campus living experience. I just think that UH missed out on a huge opportunity. What I would like to know is, what is the likelihood that that sort of development could still happen for UH. Obviously for this to happen would be a huge financial price tag.
