There is also an allowance for a potential future station on the Expo line adjacent to Clark Drive. A Translink Project Planner confirmed this to me in an email. Like the Boundary station, it is unlikely to ever be built.
The future Queens street station in Port Moody would be elevated wouldn't it?

I am aware of the potential future station on the Expo @ Clark Drive. But seeing as it is so close to VCC–Clark I (along with others) do not see it ever being built hence why it isn't included on my nor
lightrail's diagrams. Another reason is that that particular spot on the diagram is already quite busy and the drawn lines are already a bit inaccurate (Expo should be much closer to the Millennium but then there wouldn't be enough space for VCC–Clark).
As for Queens Street,
you're right in that it would be elevated (at the time I last updated the diagram, I did not know with absolute certainty where the elevated vs. at-grade sections were). I will update that sometime soon. the track at that point is at-grade (just reviewed the Evergreen Test Run footage - begins to climb west of Queens, after the part where the electrification rails are in the centre as opposed to the outside edges, which is where I imagine the station and platforms would be) so it is correct.

The station’s timeline is dependent on development permits being issued and Townsend said there appears to be no sign of slowing down after the city saw a record level of construction in 2015.

Some news on the 57th Avenue station from March:
Quote:
The Onni Group and its partners will provide TransLink with the funds to construct a new SkyTrain Canada Line station at the intersection of 57th Avenue and Cambie Street to serve the redevelopment of Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) Pearson Dogwood lands and the surrounding neighbourhood.
...
But the station is likely many years away as detailed planning has yet to be performed and the developer still needs to raise the money, which will be generated by the 3.1-million-square-foot redevelopment.

Based on that information, it would seem that the Capstan Way station may be started/completed sooner than 57th. And I did feel as though "construction to begin in 2018" was a bit soon for 57th, but that was the information that I saw at the time. I think I will remove that bit from the diagram for now.
Note: Made an in-place edit regarding Queens Street station.
