Cherie H. • January 8, 2012Walk close to Halsted if you enter on the Morgan side.

John D. • August 11, 2011Gotta wheelchair, bike, or otherwise want to avoid stairs? Take the ramp from the west end of the platforms to the mezzanine. There's an elevator to the street from there.

Anamaria H. • September 3, 2014Whatever you do, DON'T take the elevator up from the platform to the walkway over the tracks. Smells horrible. And there are puddles 😵🚽
