History
The station opened on August 14, 1955, when the west side portion of the CTS Rapid Transit began operation.[3]
When RTA began a program of rebuilding stations, including making them accessible compliant, West 25th Station was the first station renovated.[4] The new $2.6 million station opened September 1992.[3] The old utilitarian station was replaced with a station featuring a glass canopy with a bright red head house.
The Red Line Greenway opened alongside the station in 2021.[5] This two-mile (3.2 km) paved trail, part of the Cleveland Metroparks system, connects the Centennial Lake Link Trail, West 25th–Ohio City station and West 65th–Lorain station.[6]
Artwork
The 1992 station renovation included an art installation by Cleveland artist Don Harvey.[7]
