The site is not presented as an operating passenger station in the available local listings, so drivers should plan around nearby parking rather than expect a station-owned car park. The address associated with the former railway station is 700 South Wells Street, placing the destination 0.5 mi from Chicago centre. Nearby parking is concentrated around South Wells Street and South Financial Place, making those streets the most practical starting point for a short walk to the site. ## Street Parking Around 700 South Wells Street Chicago’s transport authority lists daily parking at CTA stations, with a charge of $10 for 0 to 14 hours and $16 for 24 hours (transitchicago.com). An advance online reservation gives a $12 a day rate for stays of 2 or more days (transitchicago.com). These CTA parking terms apply to designated station parking rather than automatically to curb spaces around 700 South Wells Street. Drivers using street parking around the former station should follow the posted restrictions and payment instructions for the individual block, because CTA station parking and curb parking are separate arrangements.
