My equally transit-nerdy as I am brother passed this along to me:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/cp-rail-forms-joint-venture-to-develop-surplus-real-estate/article22533486/
The article notes redevelopment of the Obico yard in south Etobicoke. If Metrolinx or the TTC purchased this grade separated (at North Queen, Queensway, Gardiner) rail spur that splits off from Kipling Station...you could theoretically have an LRT run all the way down to Long Branch.
For the area south of the Lakeshore Go line, you could probably either travel along the north side of the corridor into Long Branch, or somehow have a flyover that took the tracks over the corridor next to the Mastercard Centre, and then shoot down Kipling to interline with Lakeshore, thus giving Humber College South a direct link to the subway.
