Commuting from Villa Park to down town

Hi,

I'm looking for some route advice from Villa Park to down town.

There's traffic, parked cars and a higher speed limit (30 mph) on Washington thru Oak Park, so I tend to avoid that street in rush hour.

Always remember if you need to you can always hit the Blue Line at Forest Park. Go out the back (west) exit towards the cemetery. Go north the Madison and take that West to 1st Ave. Go back south on 1st Ave to head of the Prairie Path.

You may not be aware of this, but when you take the back (west) exit from the L station (street is called Van Buren), you can continue west thru the parking lot and that leads you to a path thru the cemetery which takes you to a pedestrian bridge over the river, and that goes to Maybrook Dr, which goes to 1st Ave and the Prairie Path. There's no need to go all the way around on Madison St.
