What I'd like to see a clear cut law, along with signage, regarding pathways that cross roadways. For example on 130th ave you have this very clear sign, indicating cyclist must dismount to cross.

Just after the crossing, there is a sign indicating that dismounting ends.

What makes this confusing for everybody is that in the next 50 metres there are two more places where pathways cross the road. One has a pedestrian light, and the other is uncontrolled other than a pedestrian crossing sign. It becomes unclear as to what each person should do. As a cyclist, I am ready to stop for cars as I see it is a pedestrian crossing. However almost always the car stops for me; no matter if I've dismounted or not.
