That looked like an extra commuter-rail line area to me, not Skytrain. How would Skytrain get across the WCE tracks?

It's still not as flexible as just taking the L and adding another line.

I don't see the point to having everything split off the Expo. It's sacrificing maximum frequency and capacity for... what, exactly? It's a strange decision considering the Expo is supposed to be the spine of the Skytrain...

I know I'm pretty critical of your plans so far, but its just a sign of how interesting it is, don't worry.
