The morning after I posted this I started I tried a different route which takes 5.5 miles on residential streets and then puts me on a MUP for the remaining 7.5 miles. It adds about 5 miles to my commute but riding by the Wissahickon and then the Skuylkill without having to worry about getting squished is worth it.
