<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>So, as a freshmen with a desire to bring a car to Cal (please waive judgement, I have reasons that I want to get around the bay area). I was wondering how one would go about getting a parking permit just for the parking lots at CKC.</p>
<p>I know they are difficult to get but was curious if any previous residents had any advise. Would I be best off looking at the storage lot? Is the storage lot safe? Covered?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I am also interested on knowing this.</p>
<p>You should look at the storage lot. It’s safe, but it’s not covered.</p>
<p>If you want covered parking, you can always find some for an average of $100/mo.</p>
<p>There’s really no reason to bring a car to Cal. Public transit is excellent and gets you between many places in the Bay Area. I use a bicycle to cover the rest – eg. for situations where public transit suck.</p>
<p>Parking is just such a nightmare that even if you have a car, most of the time, you won’t be able to use it unless you drive far away from Berkeley. I have a few friends with cars, and they will walk unless it’s more than two miles.</p>
<p>Even for Clark?</p>
<p>I’m not planning on driving very many places in berkeley. But, I know that I will be making a few trips up north from there. I have friends and family in the area. Also, it would be nice to make the trips home by car.</p>
<p>My question really was. I know that Clark Kerr has a parking lot, and that the parking lot is rather large. So, is it easier, by any means, for CKC residents to get just RH parking in CKC</p>
<p>My recollection is that you might get lucky. Not something that is broadcast, but ask. And have some decent reason.</p>
<p>I am also interested in this. I looked into it a residential hall permit for the year is $1165 annually.</p>
<p>Also called city of Berkeley, they said only permanent residents qualify for a permit. Dorm housing is considered temporary.</p>
<p>Any cheaper or free options, someone can share with us?</p>
<p>Is there a free or cheaper option I am not seeing</p>
<p>There’s resident parking at Clark, but it is limited. (it is like 1100 a year) My friend parks his car in the downtown apartment community(library garden, i believe for 1200 a year).</p>
