There is no bike turn box like there is when connecting with other cycle tracks, there is lots of bike traffic behind me and also coming the other direction, and there is vehicle traffic running alongside the bike track. Where am I supposed to stop to make that right turn without blocking off the lane on the cycle track?

Marking. My current method, because it works, is to slow down on the cycle track until the light turns and then I turn onto the non cycle track street with the light (for me, it's 12 Ave to 10 St). There isn't much cycle traffic, though, folks can get around me if need be. If it was just me, I would move onto 10th and position my bike towards my destination but I pull a chariot behind me and I can't do it without jackknifing the bike&trailer.
