As far as I've ever noticed there are no residential driveways, the street runs straight through a commercial district.
Good point on doing a route recon. I was thinking about doing that this Friday as I'm off of work and it'd give me a chance to check out the ride. Maybe do it at lunch when traffic will be worse, but I'm at least visible.
Interesting that everyone is recommending the roadway, I had figured the sidewalk would get the nod. I don't mind riding in the road at all during the day, I guess I'm just hesitant about being in the road when it's dark, regardless of how well lit I am. I've worked too many auto-bike collisions at night I guess.
