DRIVING
NOTE: The routes listed below are generally clear, but there is some
ongoing road construction in the area that may impact your route
into the city. I encourage
you to check www.mchange.org for an update before you travel to Milwaukee
in March 2007.
The Scenic Route to Campus
Take I-43 or I-94.
Near downtown take I-794 (goes east to the lake).
Take Lake Front Exit, following it north along the lake to N. Lake
Drive and E. Kenwood Blvd.
Follow Kenwood Blvd. west to campus.
From the South
Take I-94 until it joins I-43.
Then take I-43 north to the Locust Street exit.
Go east on Locust to Maryland Avenue.
Then north on Maryland to the campus.
From the North
Take I-43 south to the Capitol Drive East exit.
Go east on Capitol to Maryland Avenue.
Then south on Maryland to the campus.
From the West
Take I-94 east until it joins I-43.
Go north on I-43 to the Locust Street exit.
Go east on Locust to Maryland Avenue.
Then north on Maryland to the campus.
PARKING
Plan to bring lots of dollar bills and a ton of change! Parking is available
in a variety of ways around campus and the Kenilworth complex, and
in most cases not free.
Metered Parking
There is city-controlled meter parking on streets around the campus.
They start at 1-hour parking closest to campus, and increase to 2,
3, etc., -hour parking as you get further away from campus. Street
meters
run .25/hr. They also chalk tires, so parkers beware!
Street metered parking is FREE on Sundays, as well.
Campus Surface Lots
There is parking available in some of the surface lots on campus, the
closest one being behind the Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts.
There are meters and a pay station, where you punch in your space
number, and
then pay (cash only) according to how long you are going to be there.
Again, please read the posted signs for when you can park there and
when you cannot. Parking is usually available after 3pm on weekdays.
Parking
is available all day on all campus surface lots on Saturdays. You
need to pay at the pay stations.
Parking is FREE on all campus surface
lots on Sunday. Union Parking
Structure
This may be your best bet for parking during the conference. It is
close to all of the buildings on campus where ACDF activities are
happening. It is a pay-as-you-exit, so you do not need exact change.
The normal
fee is $1/hour up to $9. Enter off of west-bound on E. Kenwood
Blvd.
There is a flat fee for the Union Parking Structure of $4 on
Saturdays.
Parking in the Union Parking Structure is FREE on Sundays. Pavillion
Parking Structure
This is a new parking structure on the north side of campus (approx.
3 blocks north of Mitchell Hall) that has metered parking within
it. You'll need dollar bills and coinage for these spots.
Parking
in the Pavillion Parking Structure is FREE on Sundays.
Kenilworth
Square East Complex (1 mile south of campus)
There are approx. 50 public
spaces in the Kenilworth Parking Structure. The charge is .40/hour,
and you enter from Farwell
Ave. There is
also metered street parking in that area that is pretty
decent during the
day. At night forget it!
In general, allow yourself some
extra time to find a parking space and to get to the building where
you want to be.
NOTE:
Residential Parking
Avoid parking on residential side streets that do not have
posted parking signs and rules. Residents pay for the privilege
of street
parking
in Milwaukee, and they guard their streets space diligently.
You may get
ticketed and possibly towed, so be conscious of where you
park. |
