I don't believe there's room on the south side of the tracks for a second trail, unfortunately. The rails are too close to the property line along there.
Well the property line could be taken. Of course, paths already exists in some form on both sides. On the north side there is already a continuous trail. On the south side there is a sidewalk, that while admittedly set a fair distance back from the rails is still a safe route.
The problem is, this doesn't actually fix the problem. If I live directly across the tracks from my destination, but the crossing is 300 meters away, I still have to walk over half a KM to get to the destination right across from my house. There are both more and less extreme examples, but trails on both sides doesn't help a badly positioned crossing.
