[3][4] The route of the Concourse Line was approved to Bedford Park Boulevard on June 12, 1925 by the New York City Board of Transportation.

[7][8] Elevators at the station opened in December 2014, making it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The full-time entrance with a staffed token booth is at Kingsbridge Road on the south end and contains three pairs of staircases from platform level down to the lower mezzanine.

A ramp also leads to the north side of the Kingsbridge Road underpass, below the Grand Concourse.

[15] During the summer of 2019, the underpass was the center of unsanitary conditions, a hangout spot for the homeless and a hotspot for fights and drug addicts.

[19] Both exits to Kingsbridge Road and Grand Concourse also have closed passageways to both southern corners of the same intersection.
