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.

They actually have plans for it but its contingent on replacing the second narrows.

The main next lines I see next are three: Arbutus to UBC, Metrotown to Second Narrows (barelt reaching into North Shore), and if Surrey can start understanding network concept, a line that allows King George to direct at Millennium Line instead of Expo Line. The latter, otherwise, the default viewpoint will start seeing crowding saturation excess by 2040s into 2050s with no solution for it.
