It's closer to Laurel than most lights would be, but I don't think it's too close to justify a pedestrian crossing, given how important the trail is. If it's 150 meters to Laurel, that's a five-minute detour plus the wait time at the lights.
As noted, a pedestrian island would lead to dangerous situations. A bridge doesn't accommodate cyclists very well. A pedestrian-activated light wouldn't inconvenience car traffic too much, and is simple.
