Jayaguru-Shishya (talk | contribs) The paragraph was about the "Logan Square Boulevards Historic District", not the "Chicago Boulevard System". Moreover, the source made no reference to the "Chicago Boulevard System", so what's the relevance to the article? |

The Chicago Boulevard System is a network of wide, planted-median boulevards that winds through the south, west, and north sides of the City of Chicago and includes a ring of parks.[1] Most of the boulevards and parks are 3–6 miles from the The Loop. Trucks are not allowed on boulevards in Chicago.
Grassy medians run down the center of the boulevards; the medians and the squares both provided recreational areas for residents and have historically been a boon for development in the area.
The Logan Square Boulevards Historic District is a linear historic district in the Logan Square community area of North Side, Chicago which encompasses 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of the city's boulevard system here. The district includes sections of Logan Boulevard, Kedzie Avenue, and Humboldt Boulevard. It also includes two parks, Logan Square and Palmer Square, which connect the boulevards. Logan Square also includes the Illinois Centennial Monument, which was erected in 1918 to celebrate Illinois' centennial.
