North leg is not happening. That one got voted down a lot more than the west leg that just narrowly lost. I could see the west leg revived some day. The Oxford/Wharncliffe rebuild is still designed for BRT in mind I think so it could be done once the east and south legs are done. Next city council could greenlight it if upper government funding is still on the table.
If Wonderland is 6-laned, I would hope improvements at the Oxford intersection are made so BRT can be easily shoehorned in some day in the future.

I think I recall seeing it as like alternative 'D' in super early plans. That route would get rid of the level crossing at Richmond and the CP tracks, or the expensive tunnel under it that was once proposed.
Thing is it is not direct if you're a commuter from Masonville area that wants to go downtown. It mostly serves students and you remember just how much of an 🞵🞵🞵 Western was to running rapid transit through campus.
