I found the post, from Scoot Kuznicki. He's confused. There is no need to cross 12th street because that street and the L stop are on the SAME SIDE, the south side of 12th.
Let me draw a map for you:

You don't have to cross 12th to get to the station, you cross state, and there isn't any ped underpbutt under state. What he wrote might make sense if he is parking where I put love.
well, it finally happened... 3800Brent P) But if you have business in more than one place, it makes sense to park once and ride elsewhere, because parking occupancy is...
Also note he didn't write that he was going into the loop. It doesn't make any sense to come from the south or the north (or west or east for that matter) and park there to go to the loop, which is what you are claiming people are doing. If one was avoiding the parking cost one could switch to the L much further away from the loop with much more parking available.
Your replying to me makes no sense if you want to talk about other cities.
WTF? You just wrote one couldn't park on city of chicago streets without a city of chicago sticker and being a resident of chicago. I've done so more times than I can count. Hell, I once lived in a town that didn't have stickers and still parked on chicago city streets without problem. Put up or shut up.
well, it finally happened... 3799Which is easier to type? It's 12th. I rutinely call the named numbered streets by number as do others. Obviously since we were talking about the development on the SOUTHWEST corner not the northwest...
Why don't you confine yourself to threads that you have some knowledge about. Chicago residential parking permits are for specfic areas. You cannot park in zone A when you live in zone B. You can't park in Bridgeport when there is a sox game if you live a block from wrigley. But you can park in front of your place by wrigley when the cubs are playing in wrigley and the bridgeport resident cannot. Are you figuring it out yet?
One person doesn't make it common or a parking problem. I park in that area too and take off on my bicycle or on foot to go to various things a short distance from there. If I were to use the L and were coming from the north, I would park much further north (like 4000) and take the L from there. If I were coming from the south using a train I would just take metra in all the way, since the trains run both ways most of the day.
It doesn't make sense to drive there then hop on the L to go to the loop as you proposed.
