As someone who lives blocks from your imagined terminus in Steveston, this would be terribly convenient for me.... But this is not the part of Richmond that has been built with density, and I doubt that the residents want that part of Richmond to be redeveloped into TOD.
The preserved right-of-way to Steveston would be a nice place for LRT one day, but not the Canada Line.
The areas of Richmond that have density and plans for more density are basically 1) the oval lands, and 2) a strip of neighbourhoods roughly following Granville/GardenCity from Kwantlen to Gilbert Road.
I have shaded them on the following map, along with a proposed LRT line and 1-station Canada Line extension:
