History

Elevated station

Expressway-median station

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]
