me? i always bike on the street unless there is a super-compelling reason to take a short bit of sidewalk to get around some major hassle/hazard, and i don't see a compelling enough reason from your map for you to switch over to the sidewalk before you get to the train station.
My alternative is to ride the street, then make an abrupt stop in a lane of traffic to get up onto the sidewalk to the station. I don't see how this is safer.
