I’m not too worried as these two towers aren’t front and centre and will have no retail component. I’m hoping for better closer to the Steeles/Main intersection of course.

Wouldn't "Future Public Street 2" be essentially an extension of Mill Street South? Or will they want to be different for the sake of being different and give it a different name here?

It's hard to say. Sometimes developers really like to name their own streets, sometimes the city does, which in that case it would likely be Mill, yes. I think the purpose of that marker is just to indicate that what is currently a private drive will eventually become public ROW

Work has started on partial demolition of the old Oceans supermarket (previously Price Chopper/Food City). It will remove and replace the loading docks to allow for the west driveway shift for Phase 1A.
Iqbal Foods will replace Oceans.

I noted that Oceans didn't close, it moved to Kennedy Road and Steeles to a newer building that used to be Leons; the new store is now the higher-end Nations brand.

Makes sense for Winners, but not great for tenants still inside. There will now be even more vacant space inside the mall itself.

Well a supermarket is going into the space where winners is right now, before the move

That’d be the first I’ve heard of that. There are several supermarkets in the area including the Iqbal Foods where Oceans was, No Frills (formerly Real Canadian Superstore) across Steeles, and Food Basics across Main.
Not sure why a grocery store would move in to the old Winners spot, especially without major work to move access to the exterior rather than the mall interior.

maybe they will expand the winners space, to make the supermarket BIG. u know their was a supermarket where the college is now in the 1980s & 1990s

...it feels weird they're naming towers after a pharmacy brand.

Shoppers Drug Mart? It’s actually the other way around! Koffler’s pharmacy at Shoppers World Danforth (a Peel-Elder property, which developed the three Shoppers World mall as well as Brampton’s Peel Village subdivisions) was named for the mall.
The old Ford plant at Danforth and Victoria Park was sold to American Motors. Peel-Elder built AMC a modern plant on its Brampton lands in the early 1960s and redeveloped the factory as a mall.

First you said it was a certain thing, now you’re speculating.
Shoppers World had two supermarkets in the 1980s and early 1990s: Food City on the south end (later Price Chopper and then Oceans) and Dominon/A&P on the north end.
The A&P closed in the early 1990s and was repurposed several times before becoming medical offices (to replace a section of the mall demolished for Canadian Tire) and a private career college.
