However, the post's question about lane position doesn't consider any future lane positioning, but the immediate road conditions facing the bicyclist. Forward thinking is always good, but the Fremont intersection is well away enough as to be not considerable for the sake of Serge's Puzzler #1.

Good eye on the street identification though!!
Well in that case, if we are just talking about the here and now, so to speak, I would be riding right on top of that bike lane marker. Good to hear they've put in the, "bikes allowed full use of lane" signage. That's the kind of simple motorist education I'd love to see more of in all cities and especially at merging points like the busy Fremont intersection.
