Grand/Cicero is a commuter rail stop situated in Chicago's Austin neighborhood on the city's West Side, positioned 6.5 miles away from the eastern endpoint of the line at Chicago Union Station. In 2018, it was ranked 199th among 236 Metra stations outside the downtown area, with an average of 80 boardings on weekdays. Located at the intersection of West Grand Avenue and North Cicero Avenue, this station commenced operations on December 11, 2006. It serves the Milwaukee District West Line, although trains on the North Central Service pass through without stopping. Grand/Cicero is operational only on weekdays and remains closed during weekends, holidays, and after 6:30 P.M.
As of February 15, 2024, the station functions as a flag stop for sixteen weekday trains—ten inbound and six outbound.
The opening of this station coincided with the discontinuation of the nearby Cragin and Hermosa stations, which were located in residential zones. Additionally, it is positioned close to a portion of the Belt Railway of Chicago.
Significantly, Chicago's inaugural Walmart store began operating just south of this station at 4650 West North Avenue in September 2006.
