Duly noted re: lights... I'm not usually on the Bow pathway proper, but I bet there are critters in Stanley Park too.

Forget to say, I had one stupid-pedestrian encounter this morning. Two ladies with fake tans, designer sunglasses, and expensive yoga outfits were casually wandering along, side by side on the wrong side of a very busy multi-use path (in other words, they were facing traffic). I actually came to a full stop directly in front of them and they barely glanced at me, then grudgingly moved about 2" to one side. I thanked them, not too sarcastically, and went on my way. I didn't hear any thuds or screams so I assume they made it around the blind corner successfully, but I heard a lot of annoyed bell-ringing. That particular bit of pathway is something of a superhighway for bike commuters coming from Bowness and Parkdale.
