The original plan left room for the C-train to eventually go down 22X. I hope this is still the case.
I very much doubt LRT will be built down 22X heading east. This plan has pretty much fallen by the wayside in favour of the southeast having its own line connecting to downtown. The South line is already over capacity and it wouldn't be good to have this extra line feeding into it. The south line itself will be extended south of 22X. The following network plan shows it (grey is the ring road).

The reserved Right of Way down 162nd Ave. heading west that You Need a Thneed mentions I could see being used. If not by LRT, then a lower-capacity tram line. Not likely until will after the subdivisions west of Bridlewood and Evergreen are built out though.
