History[]

Ashland, which opened on October 31, 1993, is quite similar to other stations in the Orange Line and has a layout based on those of the Dan Ryan Line, except that unlike the last stations of the Dan Ryan Branch of the Red Line, this station is not located in the middle of a highway. It is composed of a central platform overlooking the entrance and is equipped with escalators and elevators for ADA accessibility. Unlike other stations on the Orange Line, Ashland does not have a park and ride facility.^[2]
