I see, so NYC uses steam to heat its buildings and such... very interesting. Although, I still don't know they would have to remove manhole covers and put pipes over them? Does this better ventilate the steam, and isn't that a nuisance to traffic?

There's always ongoing work. The system is very old, and much like other aging parts of the city's infrastructure, requires constant maintenance. This came to an explosive head a couple of years ago when it looked like a bomb had gone off in Midtown.
