Bethany to Lloyd Center and back via Zoo

Google maps is not being completely helpful.

For the sake of simplicity I have figured out the route into and out of Portland from the area of Burnside - NW Stearns Way - 24th Pl.

I decided that I do not wish to use Lovejoy in either direction so I would rather use the Steel Bridge. I am thinking Flanders-19th-Everett-13th-Couch?

Heading home I an wondering what the best route. I tried Jefferson the other day but would like an alternative back to Stearns Way. Can I directly access NW Glisan over the Steel Bridge and take 6th Ave N to Hoyt or is this cars bus/max only? Is there a bike lane on the north side of the bridge WB?
