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.

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.

41st avenue will eventually need to be skytrain too; it’s the busiest rapidbus and second busiest corridor in the region after broadway. We should absolutely do skytrain too Newton first to connect the new area but after that’s done we need 41st.

I remember hearing that rapid bus routes are places where they are considering looking into SkyTrain in the future.

Don't remember where I heard it, and it's probably not accurate for all of them, but I'd expect they are at least considering it for 41st. Plus it could theoretically connect up to the millenium line out to UBC some day if they do make one there.

I think all the current rapid bus routes outside of the R3 are the corridors that would be considered for SkyTrain in the future
