I've certainly never seen any photographic evidence they did. The rights-of-way depict the streets were laid out to fully traverse Bunker Hill but as we've seen with Teed Street and, more prominently, with Broadway/Sunset, what the maps show isn't always what came to pass. You'll notice on the 1910 Baist that 4th Street appears to reach Flower but the center line of the roadway is abandoned for a short distance just about where the stub would be. I don't think either 3rd or 4th Street succeeded in establishing an actual hook-up with Flower.
