Route:
I live in the Cooke and Karl area, a few doors away from that corner. Target: The VA Clinic at N James and Allegheny. Basically I got onto Google and routed and made my changes. I stayed away from riding down busy streets like Cleveland Ave and Joyce, and stayed in the neighborhoods. A little on 5th ave to cross 670, but I rolled off of that asap. I did a re-route on the way home to avoid 5th Ave, adding a few very nice miles thru Bexley.

Nicely done. My route would be shorter and seemingly a lot easier, but I have yet to do it when I'm actually working. Pretty soon I'm going to have to just do it too. I do sweat a lot, so I'll most likely have to shower.
Here is the shortest way for me, if I link it correctly, from very near my house to very near work (nearest intersections) :
