Having a spur subway line that cuts south down 4th St would quite fantastic. That and put a nice street car ring-route around the inner city, keep putting in more bike lanes, and we're gravy!

Working on it. The better transit part anyway, if not those specifics right now.
Streetcars are longer term, and a spur subway line isn't really in the plans, but we are really pushing for better transit and may get it when the "Centre City Transit Improvements" project is done. Phase 1 (of 2) was approved this month and Phase 2 will happen this year. Could see some real solutions tailor-made for the Centre City following that. One of the most substantial recommendations in this study is transit-only lanes on 4th Street SW.
The rest of the routes are a little less decided at this point, but there's a couple of ciruclator type routes being looked at, as well as improvements to existing routes.
