Expect to see a streetcar like line from 22nd station (maybe New West) till at least the Marine drive station (hopefully all the way back up Arbutus connecting also to the M-Line extension), before this project is complete. Remember though this project has a ~10yr buildout. Those tracks have been envisioned to be part of the development since the start. The problem is you can't justify building the line until the people are already there.
I think that line will even be profitable, it'll connect in theory the Expo/Millenium and Canada Line, serve quite a few dense residential areas as well a huge shopping zone (Marine+Byrne+Kerrisdale) and large employment centres will all the industry in that area.
