On the question about cleaning: A friend of mine did a test run with an application-specific apparatus on these stairs a month or two ago, so they must be shopping around to contract out cleaning the buildup. He showed me before and after pictures. The result was pretty impressive.
On a related topic, I am curious how they will deal with winter time icing. Surely it will be necessary to block access in freezing conditions.
