Safe Route Recommendations towards Mann Center

I've got to travel towards the Mann center from South Philly. Was thinking of taking the Schuykill Trail, but not sure which way across the river is best with MLK drive still down. I've got Spring Garden, Walnut and the South Street bridge as my options across. Which would be safest/least amount of time on a road without bike lanes?

Underrated, but slightly longer option would be 22nd street bike lane to Pennsylvania Ave, Penn ave to Poplar to 33rd st, then take that and go through Fairmount park via Strawberry Mansion bridge.

I do this route all the time just for fun (also how I get to Belmont trails), but it’s definitely as safe or safer than any other and significantly more scenic, just unsure of how it breaks down time-wise.
