Subways
This was one of the few signs that had an english word: "subway". Even though no one outside the US calls subways, "subways", why else would there be stairs going underground if this wasn't a metro station?
The answer is that this was merely an underground passage to cross the street. I hate going down and up stairs to cross the street.

Since bikes are very popular, they were clever to have a smooth incline in the middle for rolling a bike. A couple times I saw people ride down them. A good idea if you can keep it straight and not end up on the steps. Too steep to ride up though.
