Logan Square Farmers Market back on this weekend after being called off

CHICAGO - A popular Chicago farmers market is back on this weekend after briefly being canceled for the very first time.

The Logan Square Farmers Market will continue as usual this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Logan Boulevard from Milwaukee Avenue to Whipple Street.

This comes after earlier this week when organizers said the market was canceled after the city of Chicago denied expansion plans to make the farmers market safer since it has outgrown the Logan Boulevard stretch.

The Logan Square Chamber of Commerce credited Mayor Brandon Johnson for prioritizing the market reopening: 

"Thank You, Mayor Brandon Johnson, for understanding the relationship between economic development and community empowerment! Prioritizing both, made all the difference in securing the recent street closure request for our farmers market to resume safely. Your push in making this happen has made our farmers market, not only safer, but stronger. The mecca of farm culture in Logan Square remains alive!"

Last year, 7,000 people would flock there, and now, it's up to 15,000.

The layout and addition of unlicensed vendors have created issues.

There have been many close calls with frustrated drivers traveling at high rates of speed narrowly missing pedestrians.
