I rode back east from the Tour of Austin last weekend on Madison and long stretches of it (about Cicero to Pulaski?) were in the midst of substantial road construction-like closed to through traffic substantial. I've never taken Jackson, but Oak Park commuters had suggestions on this thread. I'm a bit north of you and I like Fulton west to the park.

Fulton should be pretty quiet. If you come from Humboldt, going south on Central Park is pretty good.

Madison can be very dangerous. Especially around the shopping mall at Pulaski.

Alex Z;

 

  Central Park was very good, traffic was lite, I was on Franklin  from Sacramento to Central Park, i like the bike lanes on Franklin, could be cleaned up a little, no traffic.

 

afterwards, I took Central Park to Franklin, then took Kedzie  north  to get back to Humboltd Park, all was well.
