Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

It's always like that I'm afraid. If it's just paint, most people won't notice. The bike path on Laurier Ave from Elgin to City Hall for example is painted very green with bike pictures on it at the beginning and end, but still people will walk there. The crossing over Colonel By from the Somerset Bridge to uOttawa LRT station has three separate signs showing what is meant for bikes and what is meant for pedestrians, but people will still walk there.
You really need physical barriers if you want to separate bike and pedestrian traffic and even then it's not fool proof. Especially around busy places like LRT stations. Only thing you can do is go slow there really.
