Uptown Partnership

History

Uptown Partnership began managing the Uptown Community Parking District (CPD) for the City of San Diego in 1997 at the urging of local residents and business owners who wanted to re-invest meter revenues into the communities they were generated from. Uptown encompasses the diverse neighborhoods of Bankers Hill-Park West, Five Points, Hillcrest, and Mission Hills. Uptown is one of the older areas in the City of San Diego, therefore issues regarding parking, traffic, transit, and pedestrians often arise from the need to adjust an aging infrastructure to present day needs.

Specialties

Uptown Partnership receives 45% of parking meter revenues to reinvest in the Uptown community. Funded programs and projects are designed to improve parking availability, traffic circulation, transit effectiveness, and pedestrian mobility.
