## Cermak-Chinatown Station Car Park

Cermak-Chinatown Station is a CTA Red Line station at 138 West Cermak Road in Armour Square, near Near South Side.

The station house has a semi-enclosed corridor leading to outdoor bike parking, rather than a published car park facility (chicago-l.org). Drivers arriving by car therefore need to use nearby street parking, a commercial facility, or a reserved private space instead of expecting a dedicated station lot.

## Street Parking Around 138 West Cermak Road

The published station page places the entrance at 138 West Cermak Road and provides station information, park-and-ride policies and rules of conduct through the CTA (transitchicago.com).

Parking directly outside the station can therefore depend on the individual curb signs on West Cermak Road and adjoining streets. Drivers using an on-street space need to read the sign governing that exact curb before leaving the vehicle, particularly when traveling during a busy commute or for a longer working day.

## Parksy Spaces Near Cermak-Chinatown Station

Parksy lists two South Loop lot spaces 0.5 miles from the station, each priced at $14 a day. The outdoor lot option suits drivers who prefer an open-air space, while the other lot provides a conventional lot choice for a full-day commute.

Two garage spaces are also 0.5 miles away and cost $10 a day each: a garage in the Long Grove House and the garage at 2050 S. The lower daily rate suits commuters prioritizing cost, while either garage is a better fit than curb hunting for drivers who want a reserved off-street space within walking distance of the station.

## Transit Connections From the Station Area

Cermak-McCormick Place is the nearest station, 0.3 miles away and a 6-minute walk from the station.

The CTA identifies Cermak-Chinatown as a Red Line station, so the station provides a direct rail connection within the CTA network (transitchicago.com). The station's outdoor bike parking is reached through a semi-enclosed corridor beside the station house (chicago-l.org), offering a practical last-mile option for drivers who park farther away.
