There's already a bike lane stub that begins just before the Segoe-Mineral Point intersection, and whether you can make a safe right on red is a function of the traffic, which is often heavy. There's some danger of a right-hook, but _most_ drivers I've encountered seem aware of the problem. Even so, I wouldn't do it. I find that stretch of Mineral Point so miserable for bike riding, and the Mineral Point-Midvale intersection so unfriendly (on Mineral Point) that I'd sturn right on Keating and take that eastbound. Even though there's no light at the Keating-Midvale intersection, it feels more bike friendly (to me) than the Mineral Point - Midvale intersection. (Note: I have not had any problems making right turns from the bike lane on Segoe north of MPRd - presumably the model for the proposed bike lanes south of MPRd)
