Stick with what you're comfortable doing, and the rest will come in time.
^^ Bingo! - what kickstart said.
If people don't know you or your riding situation I'd go with what kickstart said, take the bus or find another route. I'm a pretty experienced rider but there are still a few roads in Atlanta that I try to avoid because the streets are very narrow, have many blind bends in the road and in rush hour traffic the streets are very dangerous for a biker.
Also, I believe in some states It's against the law to ride on the sidewalks.
