Location

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.
