This will be a shared path. This bike deck costed $10 million dollars to build. It took significant lobbying of various cycling groups to get it integrated at design stage.

To have built a separated pedestrian route it would have an additional same cost. But if that were done, the whole Skytrain superstructure bridge would have to be redesigned to hold more additional weight.

This multi-use path hangs off the new Skytrain structure. There is an overhang above also to protect cyclists when crossing the river.
