Recommendation and Review

Due to the recent University Boulevard Realignment Project, staff is requesting City Council’s consideration for renaming a portion of University Boulevard, Convocation Center Service Drive, and Forest Hill Road to reflect the physical realignment of University Boulevard, which now continues to intersect directly with Port Republic Road. The impacted area of this change is in vicinity of the Convocation Center and the segment that runs from Oak Hill Drive to Port Republic Road.
