No -- I had heard of another tower being planned next to Jack Burger. I was wondering if it was related to the first two towers.

Not related. See here for a (so far short) thread on this project:

How many floors is this next tower expected to be? The building permit info had 24 but I see other posts indicating 22?

I find there's sometimes differences in how it's described, like total floors vs floors in the tower

The trees near King St were being cut down this afternoon as well.

Is the laneway beside the Multicultural Centre remaining, or does the bulding footprint cover that?

Only if the developer chooses to have a laneway there, and I suspect it will not be the case. I don't know how much setback the new or existing buildings will have, though.

As originally proposed there was supposed to be a pedestrian passageway or arcade from King St into the courtyard, no?
