The Highland/Queen option could probably only ever be uni-directional without significant land takings as the narrowest points are only 17-18m of right-of-way.

Since we're speculating Smile how about a one-way loop route? Something like Victoria St S - Belmont St W - Highland Rd - Queen St S - Courtland Ave E - Benton St - Frederick St - Victoria St N? With a single track the width of the right-of-way is much less of an issue. (Yes, it would take longer to get to King from, say, Victoria and Belmont, but not terribly so, and a larger number of neighbourhoods would be serviced, and hopefully intensified (Belmont is another area that has potential, as is Frederick beyond Edna).
