History edit

Elevated station edit

Expressway-median station edit

1968 view of then Kedzie 'L' station, along the median of Eisenhower Expressway. Note the trolley on the Kedzie Avenue overpass.

Kedzie–Homan was named Kedzie until the early 1990s, when the name was changed to Kedzie–Homan. However, signs on the platform still referred to the station as Kedzie until 2013, when signs with Kedzie-Homan were installed.^{[citation needed]}

In 2000–2001, Kedzie–Homan was renovated with a number of improvements for $2.6 million. The improvements included making the station handicapped accessible by modifying the entrance ramps, brighter lighting, new doors, and a redesigned entryway to improve passenger flow.^[2]
