...and it is mostly a residential type surface street, it is not really a high speed proposition. From Oak Park,conversely, there are several surface street combinations that, so long as traffic is light, function pretty well as arterials. Again, no question that it is lengthier distance (and more twists to full...) for a longer total time, just that the different kinds of roadway options make the travel times comparable...

Not comparable at all. I've done both several times. It's not even close.
