The city has proposed buidling a public plaza near the Logan Square subway station at Milwaukee Avenue and Logan Boulevard where the elevated line goes underground south of the station. This vacant land owned by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) could be developed as a plaza and serve as a farmer’s market location catering to transit users and local residents.
In September of 2007, the City of Chicago acquired the land for development of the plaza.

In addition to a farmer's market, this plaza could host art fairs or ferias, an idea endorsed in the Quality of Life Plan, developed through the Logan Square New Communities Program.
The Chamber's work to diversify and expand the farmers market is supported through a grant from Local Initiatives Support Corporation in partnership with the Logan Square Neighborhood Association.
