A bit more from the MVA:

it does not obstruct a motorist’s view of the crosswalk or an intersection.
(3.1) If a municipality enacts a bylaw referred to in subsection (3), or a treaty first nation enacts a law having the same effect, a person may park a cycle or motorcycle in accordance with the bylaw or law.
(4) Subsection (1) (j) does not apply to a person acting under and in accordance with an authorization given under section 62 (2) or (6) of the Transportation Act.
Definitions:
"boulevard" means the area between the curb lines, the lateral lines or the shoulder of a roadway and the adjacent property line;
"sidewalk" means the area between the curb lines or lateral lines of a roadway and the adjacent property lines improved for the use of pedestrians;
Although there really isn't an adjacent property line on the east side of the road, I think the very wide paved shoulder probably qualifies as a "sidewalk" based on these definitions....
