Provincial legislation provides the City a fairly wide amount of discretion in how it decides it wants to operate its street right-of-way's through the traffic bylaw.

49. (1) No owner or operator shall: ...
(e) drive along or park a vehicle on the 7th Avenue LRT Corridor, being 7th Avenue South between 3rd Street East and 9th Street West, unless the vehicle is an emergency vehicle, a Calgary Transit vehicle or other vehicle so authorized by permit from the Director, Calgary Transit.
In the case of a bicycle, I believe they are considered in the same way as a private automobile.
