Seven years in the making and completed just in time for the Democratic National Convention at the United Center, the CTA on Monday opened its newest ‘L’ station at Damen and Lake Streets on the city’s Near West Side. The new Damen station returns rail service to the neighborhood after 76 years and closes a 1 and a half mile gap on the Green Line between the Ashland and California stations.
