The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Building a structure to allow the Haymarket farmer's market to operate comfortably in the rain or cold. Roofs supported by columns with no walls, along with basic overhead heating and electricity. Supports farmers, shoppers, and other activities.

Who it helps and why

This would improve the accessibility of Boston's main farmer's market for shoppers, make things easier for vendors thus encouraging participation, and lengthen the amount of time in the year when Bostonians are able to access fresh local produce, while adding a public space.
