Over the past 2 years two things have happened to my bike to work
route-- Chicago's O'Hare airport (which lies between my home and work)
has expanded, and my place of employment has moved a few blocks to the
south.

I used to be able to bike on Old Higgins road near O'Hare when I biked
from home (in Schaumburg) to Des Plaines or Rosemont (where I work).
Now Old Higgins has a big sign up saying "Airport traffic only", and
there seem to be no safe roads for me to get from here to there and
back.

Here are the directions I used to take. I was going from the
intersection of Meacham and Schaumburg Rd.

S on Meacham

L on Biesterfield going E

Follow path to cross bridge

Exit to Biesner

L then R onto Ruskin to avoid entering Busse Woods

L on Winston going N

R on Cosman going E

Slight L on Arlington Heights Rd going E

R on W Elk Grove Blvd going SE

L on Lions Dr/Charing Cross Rd. going NE

R on Laurel St. going E

R on Tonne going S

L on Greenleaf Av going E

L on Carmen going N

R on Old Higgins Rd going SSE *** now closed

L on Mt Prospect Rd. going N

R on Howard going E

This is how I got to my old job in Des Plaines. Now I work a few
blocks away, near the intersection of Higgins and Des Plaines River
Road. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bridge the gap from
Greenleaf to Higgins and River Road? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Caden
