The future site of a planned public plaza in Logan Square will undergo environmental prep work funded by $24,000 in Open Space Impact Fees (OSIF) approved by City Council today.

The funds will cover remediation costs for the 7,000-square-foot site at 2420 N. Sacramento Ave., which is owned by the City and primarily used for parking. Once complete, planning and programming work for passive recreation and related uses will move forward with community representatives.

The OSIF program leverages fees paid by residential construction projects to help offset the impact of new residents within each of the city’s 77 community areas.
