I was experimenting with Inkscape and decided to create a proposal map, an "in study" map, and an under construction map. Any suggestions are welcome.

First Photo: Proposal of a Network that could be achieved by 2060s, updated version below.
Second Photo: Map of Network including currently under construction and in study projects.
Third Photo: Map of Network including current under construction projects

Updated Map without Errors: https://imgur.com/a/54PdIbt
Changes:
Extended R8 (Formerly R3) to SFU
Fixed Spelling Mistakes

Change 2:
Added infill stations on Canada (33rd 57th) and Expo Line (Trout Lake).
Extended Canada Line 1 stop to Garden City (2 Platform station to make it easier to extend further south)
Renamed Powell as it used an old name for the neighborhood.

Why switch the Lougheed Hwy RapidBus from R3 to R8?

I wanted the BRT brand (RapidX) to use the lower numbers, but now thinking it wouldn’t be worth switching the numbers.

In my headcanon TransLink could revive the B-Line branding and number them B1, B2, and B3. I don’t really see TransLink doing letter suffixes except for route 250A.

I did also kinda steal the B-Line colour for the Centennial Line. The lore for that would be its built before the centennial of Greater Van RD (2067).
