History

Granville Station was opened as North Edgewater in 1908. The station was rebuilt in 1921, and the name was changed to Granville. The current station dates to 1980 when an escalator and elevator were added.

A police station, jointly administered by Loyola University Chicago, the Chicago Transit Authority, and the Chicago Police Department was opened outside the Granville station on March 13, 2006.[2]

2012 renovation

As part of an $86 million rehabilitation project on the Red Line, the Granville station closed on June 1, 2012 for renovation. The project lasted approximately one month. Other north side stations were renovated following Granville's completion.[3] The Granville station reopened at 10 p.m. on July 13, 2012.

Notes

  1. ↑ Due to possible double-counting of physically-connected stations, the CTA's official 2014 tally of stations was 145, but for ridership purposes reported having only 143 stations.
