University Heights Association

University Heights Association a neighborhood organization The University Heights Association (UHA) is a volunteer organization in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The association is made up of people living, owning property, and working in the area bounded by Central on the north, Yale on the west, Garfield on the south, and Girard on the east. In January of each year at the annual meeting, members elect the board of directors for that year. The board usually meets monthly to discuss neighborhood issues and promote neighborhood improvement activities. Regular projects include spring and fall cleanups, a block party in early September, periodic newsletters and informational flyers, crime prevention activities, and zoning issues. Other activities depend upon the interests and participation of members. UHA has promoted changes to Lead and Coal to make them more neighborhood friendly, planting trees and trimming or removing old trees and stumps, and supporting pedestrian and bicycle activities. Membership is open to property owners, tenants, and those who work in the area and are interested in our vibrant, diverse community. Read More...

The University Community Action Group, as it was originally called, organized people to work together to improve the neighborhood. Two early projects were to add mid-block street lights to improve safety and to designate Silver as a bike route and remove parking from one side of the street. In 1978, the association proposed zone changes to the area and a 6-month building moratorium while the University Neighborhoods Sector Development Plan was developed. Hundreds of neighborhood residents participated in meetings to discuss what to do about houses being demolished and numerous apartments being built. Read More...
