To the north of Wheaton, Carol Stream was named one of the best towns in the United States to live in, according to CNN Money, in 2011. Incorporated in 1959, Carol Stream is home to almost 40,000 people. With great schools, such as a Glenbard North, and amazing parks, Carol Stream continues to be one of the best communities in the Chicago suburbs to live.
Getting Around Carol Stream
Carol Stream has six major roads running through the village. North Avenue extends from Chicago into the west part of Illinois. It runs near the center of town and most of its commercial and industrial sections are near the road. Additionally, Army Trail Road and Geneva Road allow commuters to travel east and west. For those needing to head north or south, Gary Avenue, County Farm Road, and Schmale Road provide residents easy access. Additionally, the portion from Country Farm Road thru Kuhn Road to near Gary Avenue is the route for the annual Fourth of July parade.
But with many people riding motorcycles, driving their cars, and heading to the industrial sections, accidents may occur. Unfortunately, recently, a Carol Stream resident was killed in a motorcycle accident in Glendale Heights. If you know of someone who has been injured in a motorcycle accident, call the Law Offices of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. today. Motorcycle accidents happen far too often with drivers not watching the roads.
