Park in the Washington Street Ramp, bounded by Washington, Harvard, Beacon and Union Streets.

Washington Avenue is isolated from Union Street near Keller Hall, the Computer Science/Electrical Engineering building that we have been meeting in for the past 10 years.  This complicates driving.  To get into the parking ramp across Union Street from Keller Hall, will take a bit of time and patience.  

If you travel I-94, exit at Huron Ave, which is on the east side of the Mississippi River.  The first stop light after the exit is SE Fulton.  Turn left on Fulton to Harvard Street.  Note that Fulton merges with East River Parkway just before it reaches Harvard, and technically, Fulton ends at the merger.  Do not follow East River Parkway past the University Hospitals, instead turn right on Harvard.

Harvard is a narrow, busy street, so go slowly and keep alert for pedestrians and cyclists, who seem to ignore cars.    Cross Washington Ave. and the parking ramp is just on the other side.  Turn left on Beacon Street, and left again on Union.  

An easy way is via 35W to University Avenue.  Then go east to Church Street.  Turn right (south) on Church at the Bell Museum.  Go one block, then turn left on Union (between the Armory and the Architecture Bldg.).  Follow Union around to the west side of the parking ramp.

For folks who must use I-94, another possibility is to exit at 280 and then exit onto University Avenue.  Take Univ. west as far as Williams arena, then branch onto 4th St. as it becomes one way.  Go a few blocks to 17th Avenue.  Turn left and in one block cross University Ave.,  where 17th becomes Church St.   Then follow the directions in the paragraph just above.
