They are (rather bravely as it is supposed to get very cold) pouring concrete along the Lake Shore Blvd East side of the building. It does not appear to be the sidewalk as it is about 18 inches or more above the road surface.

When the extension of Harbour Street is opened up, I think this block of Lake Shore will be closed.

Continuing my deep-dive on this matter, if in case there should actually be a total of 11 white architectural elements in the elevation drawings, this is approximately what that would look like!

...out of examples here, this one may lean towards Mr. 42's interpretation of what we're getting here, for good or bad.

Ok, so please take the following for what it's worth and by all means critiques are welcome!

This is the rendering that is included in the cover page of the most recent revision of the Architectural Plans:

Paying attention just to the top section of the tower as shown below we see that there are 11 levels of the white architectural elements. Please note also that the 2 levels where there are the full floor white architectural elements are at levels 6 and 7:

In the same batch of Architectural plans, in the infamous elevation drawings that shows the parapet as 421.83m and the TMD roof as 428.65m, we see that there are only 10 of the white architectural elements. Note that the full floor white architectural elements are at levels 6 and 7 which matches the rendering.

Now the caveat is that we do not know if the rendering was actually modified when the total floor count went from 105 to 106 and additionally, we do not know if the renderings were actually accurate to what is actually being built, but I got a bit tipsy this evening during dinner and I tend to over analyze things when I am this tipsy.

Thought I'd share for what it's worth!

They typically don't update renderings unless there are major changes like when the height changed. The crown changing might not have triggered a new rendering as it would be an unnecessary cost. Now they could have, but on most projects they wouldn't. (Based on my work experience).
 
This is the migration season of the rare Oomigoolie bird, where the males have unusually extended testis...to which gives them their distinct namesakes as they land in our waters this time of year crying out, "Oomigoolies! Oomigoolies!"... >.<
