Very unlikely in the sense of building shared corridors. Even the existing SW BRT (aka the "Blue Line") was originally conceived as a route that would share the CN ROW near Pembina Highway but it was shifted west to a much wider hydro corridor.
Most of the rail corridors are quite narrow and at first glance it seems unlikely that they could accommodate BRT/eventual LRT without very costly means like elevated structures.
