At a mile and a half, i suggest you get a comfy pair of walking shoes if you find riding the bike dangerous. If the most direct route is that dangerous for a bike, perhaps there is a longer safer way. Hell anything short of 5 miles is classified as a wussy bike commute anyhoo. Mine is 12+ with hills. Of course, I wimp out and take my truck way too often, esecially this time of year.
As for riding a bike after dark, I feel safer then than during the day. Very good LED lighting these days will light you up like a xmas tree and make you way more visible than during the day.
