On May 7th, about 200 people packed into the Mega Mall building for the unveiling of the plans for the future of the place where they were sitting.
The proposal is for 267 apartments, 115,000 square feet of retail space and about 350-400 parking spaces. They want to erect a fitness center and a large grocer as well and introduce a traffic signal on Milwaukee Avenue between Sacramento and Logan Blvd. There might also be room for eight to ten neighborhood businesses although that isn’t certain as of yet. This area would be called “Logan’s Crossing,” and if you look at the rendering, it looks like Woodfield Mall or the small Webster Theater area.
These are some big plans for a not so big area. Let’s hope that if the plans are authorized to proceed, that it fits in with the rest of the neighborhood.
