Your best bet for parking is the bus, walking or a bike. But if you do feel the need to bring a car to school for the year or for a couple nights, here are just a couple things you should know from the start. You will get a ticket — it’s just a matter of time.

Night parking 2 to 6 a.m.

Milwaukee: call three times max. for up to three nights, 286-8300.

Shorewood: call 10 times max. for one night each, 847-2610.

You don’t have to call for Sunday morning or major holidays.

Always ask about parking on what side of the street and watch for street-sweeping signs and information on snow removal.

Milwaukee Night Parking Permit

A permit is $44 per year or $12 per quarter. The quarters are January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December. Permits can be bought at 2920 N. 4th St. If you are going to have to park in the street don’t put off buying the permit. It will cost you.

Consequences

Light streaks from passing cars illuminate parked ones on Kenwood Avenue in a two-hour parking zone across the street from the Union.
