Problem is the network as built won't really be going places as you mentioned. It will be great if you're Fanshawe student who needs to get to campus from downtown, which may make some Western students jealous.
One day LRT could run down Oxford. It has a pretty wide right of way from Richmond to Adelaide. Approaching Wharncliffe it could follow the CP route a bit on it's journey to Western Road perhaps, avoiding the Wharncliffe and Oxford intersection, rejoining at the curve where Wharncliffe becomes Western Road.
It could also continue along the CP right of way and have stations at Patt's Lane, Wonderland/Sarina and even Hyde Park.
Waterloo Region runs some of their LRT along rail corridors so why can't London do the same? If BRT, routing it on Oxford would make more sense vs a busway.
...But for now this is all a pipe dream once again. We decided where the network will go and where it won't for this generation.

It's London. We think small here. We use the comments section of the London Free Press to guide the 'vision' at City Hall.
So I expect LRT in London sometime around 2070.
