Location

Kedzie is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Pink Line and the Lawndale neighborhood. It opened on March 10, 1902, as part of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad's Douglas Park branch. ^{[2] [3]} It was renovated between 2002 and 2004.

Structure

The station consists of a single elevated island platform. The main accessible full-service entrance with ticket vending machines and an elevator is located on the west side of Kedzie Avenue, while there is a secondary non-accessible farecard-only entrance on the east side of Kedzie Avenue. The platform is mostly made of concrete, but unlike the other Pink Line stations, there is a short section where the platform crosses Kedzie Avenue that is made of wood and has an older non-renovated shelter.
