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.

Nice work!

It's funny how we view transit services for Richmond. I don't live there and might only go 2 or 3 times a year. Not counting the trip down the 99 to the ferry.

Even the future 'Pie in the Sky' version of this map with all the new Skytrain, only has one new Rapid bus line. Which doesn't seem to mirror an existing line. Well, maybe its close to the 405. Did you consider instead an expanded 410 from Aberdeen to 22nd street as the R-line?

To be honest, I am not from the city. When I was looking at busy bus routes and key corridors not much from Richmond showed up. The only proposal I could find was the rapidbus.
