You would obviously wish to use a street that goes all the way through. Forget going through UT and any street east of it. The next street to the west of Guadalupe that goes all the way from MLK to 49th Street is Lamar. If you limit your northward reach to just 29th Street through the West Campus, it is the one way north Rio Grande, one existing through lane, one parking lane, and one two way bike lane, and it is 3 blocks west of Guadalupe. Believe it or not, Guadalupe is the largest street going north to south through the West Campus area - period. So you will most likely have to go over or under it if you do not wish to create a 24 hour traffic jam every day of the week.
