The Highway Crossing at Industrial Blvd has sidewalks. That'd be my choice. I looked at Avenue D and Nugent where they cross I-35 and the roads that would take you to and from there don't look so bike friendly, with no shoulders and remote industrial parks.
I think your route, going up the east side of I-35 through residential areas, looks good to me.
