The closer station will actually be Block Line. A 700m walk, if I recall correctly. It's still unfortunately far from both.

There's been a (gravel) trail in the Hydro corridor for years.
During ION construction, it's been in various states of closed. You'll discover that the Fairway end is currently full of construction debris, and has a big "Closed" sign" up. But the rest of the trail is fine. Eventually they'll clean up the ends, but it will remain gravel.
This is the part of town here I raised a stink about a lack of pedestrian crossings of the tracks:
The plan was that the only access to this trail was from Courtland on the west, and Wilson on the east, and a couple of access points to the north, but nothing south to Fairway. The City of Kitchener is now working on choosing a location to put in an official mid-block crossing.
