Metra Parking In Lagrange?
Hello,
I am moving to Lagrange next month and am having trouble finding information about parking to take the Metra.
Does anyone know -
Are spots easy to come by at the main station or the stone ave station?
What is the fee?
Are there different options, ie - daily fee spots, metered parking, parking permit with the city.
I am starting to wonder if I will have to take a 6AM train to get a spot...Ideally, I'd like to take one around 7-7:30 - will there be parking left by then?
Thank you all!

Some parking is handled by the municipality, it is pretty limited. Metra / LaGrange Road Station Information
You might have better luck using the YMCA parking, I have known several people that were happy with that, don't know the cost, or even availability as the Y has moved their programs.
LaGrange built a large multi level garage, not sure if they have any spaces for rail commuters... |

You can definitely park in the parking garage, I know people who do that. It's a short walk from there to the Metra station.

Did this pan out? Can you really park in the parking garage? If so, do you have to get there really early? I called the municipality and there is parking behind the YMCA or 3 blks west of Stone Ave Station for $25 a month.

Any waiting list on this $25 parking? Or is it available now? |

The best parking is $40 to $45 per month. There is usually a several month waiting list for this parking. Call the Village of LaGrange. There are metered spots, but I think they go fast.
