This is not a laneway - it will, eventually, be the continuation of Harbour Street - though how they will name it is unclear to me since they have already called its eastern end Downes Street.

This section will also be part of Downes Street, so that Harbour doesn't suddenly need to be Harbour West and Harbour East with it crossing Yonge.

Is the plan still to realign Harbour Street so that it flows naturally into Downes? If so, will there be any public space at the NW corner of Harbour and Yonge?

Yes to both. The sweeping curves will disappear, replaced by more normal left turn lanes at normalized intersections, and the leftover land at the northwest corner of Yonge and Harbour and the southeast corner of Yonge and Lake Shore will become pedestrian plazas. We haven't seen final plans for those spaces yet.

Pretty sure the City is expecting drivers to make different choices as to which street they will turn left at to continue their eastward trek along Lake Shore, as they will have to make the one-block-north move at one point or another, whether Yonge, or Freeland, or Cooper, or Tinsley.

The sign on the west side now reads PINNAC SK LE YTOWER .
I'm too far away to get a photograph, can somebody closer oblige?

By putting my iPhone to one side of my binoculars I managed to get this image of the dyslexic sign!
