Finally a logical pickup and drop off area that does not impede traffic.

Does anyone know if there will.be a school in this community. And does anyone know if floor plans are available. How big are the townhouses?

There’s supposed to be a new TDSB school built (eventually) a few blocks to the South-East of this site. It is where the Ontario Line Tunnel Portal reaches the surface at the Eastern end of MILL STREET.
Similar to what happened in City Place, the “stand-alone” School is almost always one of the last things to be redeveloped. Ontario Education Ministry usually wants +90% of the new residential buildings to be completed and occupied BEFORE they will FUND the new school.

With regards to floorplans:
That was the first thing I looked for when the affordable housing lottery was started. Usually with these lotteries, they have the floorplans for those specific units linked somewhere on the page but I don't see any mention of them yet.
With regards to schools:
Easiest way to find this out is to open up Google Maps in Toronto and search for "elementary schools". It will show existing schools in the area. Right now, the closest schools are around 3-5 blocks away.
Google maps won't show the schools yet to be built though.

I think there are still 'plans' (or hopes!) for a school in the south east corner of the West Don Lands once the work on the Ontario Line at the rail berm is finished. Of course, if it actually goes ahead it will not open for 10-15 years but .....

TDSB school is proposed for BLOCK-9 after the Ontario Line Tunnel work is done -
TDSB site has been formally submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Education since 2021 -- but has not yet been approved for capital funding.
MAY 2021 - "West Donlands Elementary School" Submission from TDSB (PDF) -
...and as much as we like to dump on the current Provincial Government, the former Ontario Liberal government did not accelerate this site either - "In September 2011, Block 9 was reserved as an elementary school site for the TDSB."

Well, I finally have my answer about the interlocking on the north side. They are using the same grey blocks they used on the Cherry Street side.
They are almost finished trenching on the north side as well. I imagine the silva cells, soil, and trees will be in in the next few weeks.

So, are we getting sidewalks back before the Christmas market in a month?

Based on how fast they are moving on the north side, I "think" the north side will be done in a few weeks, if not earlier. That is, if nothing gets in their way or blocks them.
On the south side, the interlockers had to stop repeatedly, waiting for the concrete to be poured (and to set). Then there was the weather (rain).
Side note: I think the courtyard is going to take a bit longer.
