Parking for 2026 Meetings -

1. For Dry Dredgers dues-paying members who already have a parking pass,Park in Clifton Lots, located just west of UC's campus. The lots are located at the corner of Probasco Street and Clifton Avenue, with the entrance(s) on Probasco Street. The lot is outlined in yellow on the map and the route to Braunstein Hall is dotted in red. Make sure to use the crosswalks, as Clifton Avenue can be rather busy!

We have a limited number of passes, so first come, first serve. Members only. One pass per household.

Passes will be available in our meeting room prior to the meeting from Jack Kallmeyer. Because of the limited number available only one pass per family is permitted. To get your pass you will need to provide your name, phone number and license plate number - this is needed in case you get ticketed even though you have displayed your pass so the parking people can void your ticket.

If you did not get your pass at the February meeting, we suggest that you drive up to the dock behind Braunstein and run up to our meeting room to get your pass before parking in the Probasco lot.


2. For non-members, free on-street parking is available along Clifton Avenue, which is only free after 6:00pm. This parking may be found either north of Martin Luther King Dr (along Burnett Woods) or south of Clifton Court.

3. Or you can park in the Woodside Garage. Continue a short distance down Martin Luther King and on the right side of the street, park in the Woodside Garage. Parking cost $7 for the evening. Credit Card Only. Take ticket on entry. Totally automated. Pay on exit.
