Are you referring to some sort of underground hatch that doesn’t take up any space on the sidewalk at all? That’d be very cool, just probably difficult to retrofit the whole city with.

They do take up some space on the sidewalk, but less than a non-underground version. Here's what they look like: https://www.core77.com/posts/102208/Amsterdams-Smart-System-...

The ones I've seen in Barcelona take up a fairly small amount of space. They do occupy some, but not much.

Seems to work really well tbh.
