The big machine in the opposite crosswalk is a saw that cuts into pavement. The water is necessary to cool the saw blade and keep the dust from becoming airborne.

Water for the saw
February 8th, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!

or did you saw water shooting out of those valves? Looks like they are ready for blast-off.
Watch for the ice…just a little spray on cold walkway and woops-U-go brother. Stay well…beware the toy slayer..he is lurking about.
