Why? The Expo line is perfectly designed to be extended and I don't see how QoS would be affected by a longer line. In addition, you get the added efficiencies of running one line instead of two.
You also create a one seat ride from anywhere on Hastings to various points downtown and are able to connect Gastown.
The only reason you would do it separate from the Expo line is if you ran it underneath Robson Street to serve the West End.
