I don't think there will be subway lines for a long time, they are too expensive... I do like the idea of more dedicated streetcar lanes like they have on Spadina.
One idea for trains would be some sort of rail line that connects the Sheppard Subway to the GO railline that runs through the Don Valley... it woud be an express that would have stops connecting at the via duct and Union station.
Kirk, you are right that Toronto has avoided much of the horrors of urban expressways but unfortunately planning outside the city borders is for shit. The sprawl that continues to expand throughout the GTA is going to be what brings Toronto to its knees if we don't get a better transit system in place.
With so many people living in the sprawl and working in the city the traffic on the existing feeder expressways is horrendous. There will be many more battles in the future about building more highways or expanding the ones we have...
