Lake (also known as Lake/State) is an 'L' station on the CTA's Red Line in the Chicago Loop that is part of the State Street Subway. Lake is a transfer station between the Red Line and the Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines at the State/Lake station and the Blue Line via the Pedway. In December 2014, Lake had an average of 20,482 weekday passenger entries, making it the busiest 'L' station.[1]
Lake is linked to the Millennium Station via a Chicago Pedway connection that can be accessed at its Randolph exit.
On November 20, 2009, the pedway connecting the unpaid portions of Lake and Washington stations reopened to service.[2]
This station was originally part of the now defunct Washington station, but they were separated on June 2, 1996 due to the renovation project of the Randolph-Washington mezzanine and Lake became an independent station on November 18, 1997 in order to better facilitate transfers between the Red Line subway and the elevated State/Lake station.
