This is the reply that I got from CoV Transportation Planning of :

Hi Sieva,

Thank you for reaching out about Grey Gum Trail. I looked into this, and unfortunately it seems like a bit of a grey area.

The trail itself appears to be no wider than a typical sidewalk, but it is not part of our sidewalk network. Additionally, it is not part of our cycling network either. Also, as the trail is in both Burnaby and Vancouver, different rules may apply depending on where you are.

That said, it doesn’t seem like bikes are explicitly prohibited. Given that it is a tight and shared space, my advice is to ride through the area respectfully and give pedestrians the priority. Yield if pedestrians are approaching from the front and allow them to pass, or dismount if you are approaching someone from behind.

Sorry I do not have a more definitive answer.

Take care, and let us know if you have any more questions.

Trey
