There is <em>another thanks</em>: "dor-jey". One means "thanks for that thing you just gave me" and the other means "thanks for that thing you just did for me", but I forget which is which. About the gates, I thought they were a bike speed reducing obstacle near to places with lots of crossing foot traffic. If there are bigger vehicles within these zones of the seawall, the gates will also set a limit to how far these vehicles will "stray" onto the rest of the seawall.

MMM-goi works for most Vancouverites too! (Cantonese for excuse me...adding 'sai' to the end of it turns it into Thanks). Oops…and too quick.
