Based on your map there is a bike lane on the other side of the intersection where you can safely stop and lift your bike onto the sidewalk.
I am not breaking the law, by riding on the sidewalk here. Only in Denver is that illegal. Littleton is legal.
But I do see what you are saying about stopping in the bicycle lane on the far side of the intersection. Hadn't considered that before.
