Read your laws carefully, usually bikes just have to stay "as far right as practicable", if you have to fight it in court just say it's impractical because you could get car-doored, which is true. Or you could find the specs for how wide a lane has to be and if the lane isn't up to code it's not safe.
Me, I'd just block traffic if the speed limit was 25, but I'd go 25.
Consider a rearview mirror; you can hear cars coming when you're pedalling but not when your motor is on.
This is a reall busy area especialy on weekends. You don't need a rear view mirror, you are always surrounded by cars. Also 25 would be the highest speed they could go since these are short city blocks. As long as the bike can get to that speed quickly I think you could avoid alot of problems. Once your stake out that road they will (I'm hoping)treat you like every other motorist.
