Parking Passes & Guest Details
Please note that Millridge Parkway will be closed from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
During
this time, only vehicles with a resident hang tag, a Brandermill-address driver’s
license, or a BCA-issued guest parking pass will be allowed entry. Guest passes
allow non-residents to access the area and drive on Millridge Parkway after it is
closed for fireworks.
Guest passes are limited to three per household, available on
June 2nd – July 3rd at the BCA office.
No vehicle will be admitted without a valid
pass, so please plan ahead.
Attention Marina Users:
The 10 parking spots located behind the Auburn Hill building, which are typically reserved for residents to access the marina, will be unavailable on July 4th due to a special event taking place at Auburn Hill.
If any marina owners need to access their boats that day, we ask that you please park in front of Auburn Hill, at Lake Forest, or in the Medical Office Park.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
