Here's the actual allowances according to the City.
Quote:
Operating a personally owned electric scooter anywhere on the road right of way, including city sidewalks, bike lanes or roadway is still illegal under the Alberta Traffic Safety Act. Personal electric scooters are allowed to operate on pathways. The provincial exemption to operate an electric scooter only applies to the electric scooters owned by Permit Holders operating in the Shared Electric Scooter Pilot.
Electric scooters are described as a miniature vehicle that is normally prohibited from being operated on any public sidewalk or street. With the permission of the Province, we have been able to allow shared electric scooters to operate on sidewalks, pathways and within marked bicycle lanes for the duration of this pilot project.

So the pathway is fair game and doesn't seem to be the City's choice.
