It is located at the intersection of West 24th Street, Abbey Avenue and Lorain Avenue (Ohio State Route 10), diagonally across Lorain Avenue from the West Side Market.

  • History

    The station opened on August 14, 1955 when the west side portion of the CTS Rapid Transit began operation.

    When RTA began a program of rebuilding stations, including making them ADA compliant, West 25th Station was the first station renovated. The new $2.6 million station opened September 1992. The old utilitatian station was replaced with a station featuring a glass canopy with a bright red head house.

    Artwork

    The 1992 station renovation included an art installation by Cleveland artist Don Harvey.
