I have been thinking that it would be nice if there could be a separated bike lane with floating bus stops in that area.
I also really hope that the part between Weber and King gets bike lanes some time, because it's kind of awkward when the bike lane disappears right around the most dangerous section of a road.
I've wondered about this. I think University does have a bunch of trip generators. I avoid it on my commute though. I go through Waterloo Park / Laurel Trail instead. It is certainly the case that University doesn't feel like a street one should be biking on at the moment, despite the current non-segregated bike lanes.
It might be good to have infrastructure like in Zurich at bus stops where the bike lanes go on the sidewalk at stops.
