The path behind the bus stops on the left as you go north isn't going to work imo. Similar to parts of CS1 the expectation of faster cyclists to pull off the road and go 5-10mph coming to a stop every now and then as pedestrians ignore the cycle lane just doesn't work. It's also 1 cyclist wide so I'd expect would be over capacity in peak which makes it less risk of a fatal collision than the main traffic around E+C but still a higher risk of a minor collision.
I'm riding that way a few times over the next few weeks so might try all the various styles and approaches from fitting airzound and riding blasting people to slowing/stopping to taking the road to whatever.
