Sorry, I didn't mean to shit on the idea, I just didn't know how you were making your measurements.
Regardless I was inspired, so I modeled both the "island" approach, and the protected intersection approach. My mockups don't look great, but they should give the idea. I like the island (and regardless of which, I think the island should be tightened up, there is HUGE pavement at the island, and there should be a crosswalk to access the bus stop and continue straight, the island is just very 1960s--plenty of room for improvement.
The other option works if you remove the right turn lane on Courtland and 1-2 lanes on Stirling (which I suspect--without looking at the traffic models--would be reasonable), this gives room for a cycleway on Stirling, but not on Courtland. I also added two floating bus stops because that's how it should be.

@Jonny What tool did you use to build your designs?
