You're right, found it:

The developers said city planning officials have discussed the addition of a new Metra station near the northwest corner of Fulton Market.

A Metra spokesman said the city requested that the transit company's ongoing reconfiguration of a switching location just west of Fulton Market not preclude the possibility of a new station being built nearby at Ashland Avenue, though it has not had specific meetings about adding the station.

Burnett could not be reached for comment, and a spokesman for the Department of Planning and Development didn't provide a comment.
The promotional image shows a planned Metra station at Ogden & Kinzie, even though the article states Ashland. I think Ogden would be a smarter location (Racine even better) since it would be closer to the heart of Fulton Market.
