Seeking Commute Route Recs: Maple Leaf Reservoir to Fremont Bridge

After a close call today I'm brainstorming new routes for my morning commute. Currently I've been going South on Roosevelt to either:

• 70th > Green Lake > Stone Way
• 65th > Latona > B-G
• All the way to the B-G at the University Bridge

but there's usually a huge backup on Roosevelt of cars waiting to turn right onto 75th for the I-5 onramp, which requires either riding on the sidewalk or in the oncoming lane to get around, both of which I'd like to avoid.

I could go South on 5th instead, but I'd also prefer to avoid the Green Lake/50th/Stone 5-way intersection since that creates a long wait if you just miss the light cycle, then going down Stone Way below 45th always just feels really frenetic and unpredictable for mix of reasons.

Any ideas or should I just suck it up?
