Located all throughout Center City, Philadelphia, the Steam system still supplies power to the downtown skyscrapers. The system spews steam through grates that inconveniently interrupt the sidewalk with intense heat in summer and poor visibility in winter. Relocating these vents has proved cost prohibitive to its current utility provider, Paris-based Antin Infrastructure Partners. The city is notorious for allowing sidewalk impediments like this as well as through construction and vehicle parking. The Right of Way Commissioner has not read the job description, apparently. Access to the steam system however is available under these old covers dating to the time when Peco had control of the operation. A standard diamond hatch pattern is interrupted by the utility identifier, which seems to have wilted from the decades of heat and trespass. A company identifier rings this pattern. The pickpoint is at the north quadrant which here has a curiously shaped gumsplat.
