True, but after it exits the towers' property, it winds to the left of the Sobeys and between some parking lots to cross Regent at the lights. They recently laid some gravel on the paths over there from Regent to the Y beside the Sobeys.. "recently" being last few years. The reason it shoots straight from the train station to the back of the Sobeys is because it's on the city-owned ROW of the old station track, the Sobeys was pretty much just plopped right on top of it.
In their crosstown trail plans I believe they have two trails breaking off beside the Sobeys and meeting again at where the trail meets Westmoreland. One (the one you mentioned) winds behind the Sobeys, then runs past the station, across the street; the other runs along Aberdeen. Both on old rail right-of-ways. I have a hunch think they're trying to passively rebuild the fractured Centreville ROW over a longer time period to allow for easier cross-town travel and, of course, to have a fairly critical old rail ROW as a city asset.
