The University Hill General Improvement District (UHGID) was created July 21, 1970 to provide parking and maintenance. Ordinance No 4958 dated November 26, 1985 expanded the scope to include pedestrian, bicycle, mass transit, and aesthetic improvements. The UHGID boundaries span a 3 block area.

A Five member University Hill Commercial Area Management Commission  appointed by City Council administers the business affairs of UHGID. Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month and offer residents an opportunity to voice their suggestions, comments and criticisms on any issues that fall within UHGID'S purview.
