I don't think you'd be able to build another diagonal line. The Expo line took advantage of the old Interurban RoW. Under Kingsway may make sense - depends which neighbourhoods are prioritized because Mt. Pleasant will have a station on the Broadway extension and the tech developments on Main are on the edge of walkability to Main St station.

I could see a Hastings line branch to the south along Clark or Commercial.
(ie exit downtown to the north of Expo line to hit unserved Strathcona / northern Commercial Drive, then south) - but then again, Commercial Drive has Commercial-Broadway station and is resistant to development.
