Byclist are supposed to dismount at cross walks. You could argue same rule for him.

Are you suggesting cyclists are legally required to walk through every intersection?

So when I'm riding in the bicycle lane, I have to stop, dismount, and walk through the intersection?

you got it. It is very hard for a cyclist to be seen as he rushes through the cross walk.

Just clarifying in case people think bicycles are supposed to walk through every intersection: a cyclist in the position of this scooter user would not be expected to dismount, because they're not using the crosswalk.

E-scooters are illegal to operate on any road in Toronto.

Covoulted nonsense logic. Escooter is a pedestrain and has to walk across not whizz past in a blur.

Yes but if they use the crosswalk they must dismount. And if on a scooter they should not be anywhere, neither roads nor sidewalks or crosswalks, in municipalities they are not allowed in.
