Hi,

I'll be in Chicago in September and I'd like to do some photography of the city by night. I found an interesting spot near the University of Illinois-Chicago. I noticed a parking lot at the intersection of S Morgan Street and W Congress parkway that would be very convenient. Is it restricted regarding the hours and the people who are allowed to park there? I don't see any gate.

That is UIC Lot 9A. Like all UIC lots it controlled. The entrance gate is near 511 S. Morgan. You can see the card machines and security hut in google street view. There is no on-street parking allowed on Morgan either...

Thank you for the link. Is there any other parcking nearby either a parking lot or street parking (allowed)?

campus map -- Campus Parking Map | UIC.edu

Best bet is probably parking garages at 760 W Taylor, about a block south & east, but they are not open all night.

Rush Hospital has a lot that may be open 24x7 about six long desolate blocks west -- Patient and Visitor Parking | Rush University Medical Center

There are parking lots across the Ike that primarily service the eateries of Greektown that may also be an option -- Greek Town Chicago Parking - Parking Lots and Garages, Street Parking - Parkopedia

You can park on taylor street, between Racine and Morgan I believe.
Also there are some spots a little north of there, right across the highway. Van Buren, Jackson, Adams, and such.

Thank you all for those answers. Helps a lot!
The rates for the UIC parking lots are given for Mon-Fri 8am-3pm. And it seems that access is still allowed after 3pm. It says « Mon-Fri in after 3pm out by 8am ». But it's hard to understand who's allowed after 3pm and if the same rates apply.
Basically I'm looking for either a parking space on the street or a parking lot where I could park for an hour or two around 7pm. I think they will be enough options.
