I've ridden just about every street out this way. University Park has a trail system that includes tunnels under some of their streets. It also leads to Govener's State University, which has some very cool (but ageing) industrial artwork scattered around the campus. You can clime into and onto many of them. As a teen I've ridden my bike between all of the local towns and country rodes while visiting freinds. Once I rode to Chicago and back via Torrence Ave from Sauk Village (30 miles each way). I also have the IDOT maps (I highly recomend getting them, they're FREE) and have toured about 70 of the llinois trail systems. I generaly dislike rideing the street routs and try to ride a different trail each weekend.
