From your same link regarding multi-use crossings in Calgary

Quote:
The status of riding in crosswalks can vary. For instance, in Calgary, but not Edmonton, people riding bicycles across multi-use crossings have the right of way just as any pedestrian:


Calgary Bylaw 26M96
MULTI-USE CROSSINGS
41.1

The Traffic Engineer may designate crosswalks upon which a person may ride a bicycle to cross the roadway.
Where the Traffic Engineer has designated a crosswalk pursuant to subsection (1), any crosswalk so designated shall be known as a “multi-use crossing”. The Traffic Engineer shall indicate the multi-use crossing by the placement of such traffic control devices as the Traffic Engineer deems necessary.
A person operating a vehicle on a roadway must yield the right of way to:
a pedestrian; and
a person riding a bicycle;
who is crossing the roadway within a multi-use crossing.

When crossing a roadway within a multi-use crossing:
a pedestrian; or
a person riding a bicycle;
has the same rights and obligations of a pedestrian using a crosswalk.
