Street Parking Around LaSalle Street and Van Buren Street
The published local material identifies the address and surrounding streets, but does not provide a street-parking time limit, resident-zone rule, enforcement schedule, or free-parking period for the station frontage. The CTA parking page instead publishes paid park-and-ride terms for participating “L” stations: $10 for 0 to 14 hours, $16 for 24 hours, and $16 for each additional 24 hours (transitchicago.com). Those figures describe CTA park-and-ride facilities and should not be treated as curbside rates on LaSalle Street or Van Buren Street.
Commuter Choices While the Downtown Loop Station Changes
The CTA station page says the State/Lake Loop Elevated station is closed for reconstruction into 2029 and tells riders to use Clark/Lake or Washington/Wabash (transitchicago.com). Drivers planning a weekday trip should therefore allow for a changed transfer or walking approach when their journey involves that adjacent elevated stop.
CTA’s park-and-ride program publishes a special multi-day discount of $12 a day, alongside its $10 rate for 0 to 14 hours and $16 rate for 24 hours (transitchicago.com). The listed Parksy inventory adds monthly choices at $165, $239, and $300, a $20 daily option, and a $38 hourly option. These choices separate into predictable commuter parking, daily downtown access, and short visits, without requiring a driver to rely on curb availability near the station entrance.
