That would certainly make sense but ..... See: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-226392.pdf This states:I am assuming that Downes Street is the new north-south street on the east side of this project though, labeled New Street, and not the east-west street as shown on this image?
The east-west street is the extension of Harbour.
42
"In conjunction with the Lower Yonge Precinct EA and the 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East subdivision plan (and 1 Yonge subdivision), two central intersections are to be created within the six proposed blocks of development. These intersections are located along the planned extension of Downes Street, at Freeland Street and Cooper Street. "
The link above also notes: "As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) will operate a transit service on Downes Street between Freeland Street and Cooper Street, this matter requires City Council approval."
It appears that Harbour Street will end at Yonge (?) which is NOT what the Lower Yonge Precinct Plan originally said but .....

Getting ready for opening day. The store is actually located on the north side of the building accessed off of the new east-west street. Now if only the neighbourhood would get an independent coffee shop you could call it a complete community!

If one goes WAAAAY back in this thread you can see the tunnel during construction as this was a cut and cover project.
TE3.21 - Encroachment Agreements - Pedestrian Tunnel and Vehicular Tunnel under a Future Public Highway, to be named Downes Street, connecting 100 Queens Quay East to 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East
