===Streets, addresses, and expressways=== The [[Eisenhower Expressway]] is the primary expressway between Chicago and Oak Park. The highway also provides connections to [[O'Hare International Airport]]. Major east–west streets in Oak Park continue east into Chicago. The streets are laid out in a grid pattern, occasionally with local streets ending in a [[cul-de-sac]] to maintain local character. Oak Park has its own street-numbering system that begins, for east–west streets, at Austin Boulevard (no east or west designation), and for north–south streets, at the elevated train tracks located just south of Lake Street, which divides the numbers, getting larger going north or south from there, and requiring north or south designation on addresses. The border streets do not follow the Oak Park numbering system; rather, they match the address system with the cities sharing those border streets. For example, addresses on Austin Boulevard match the Chicago system, with the zero line at Madison Street, and along North Avenue, addresses match the Chicago system, with Austin Boulevard at 6000 W and Harlem at 7200 W. Additionally, Elizabeth Court, located within the [[Frank Lloyd Wright–Prairie School of Architecture Historic District|Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District]], maintains its original numbering. The houses on that [[Cul de sac|cul-de-sac]] start at 1 and go up to 12. [[Image:Oak park lake street.jpg|thumb|931 Lake Street looking eastward.
