Sorry I wasn’t clear. DOT maintains the security lights only for park walking paths. They don’t for anything else. NYC Parks would have to light the specific areas like skate parks but that would encourage people to use them after dark which is not something the city wants people to do. As the other commenter mentioned, a lot of bad activity would happen in the parks after dark if they were lit.

NYC Parks typically does not light specific features like that. Park paths are lit with security lighting and those lights are maintained by NYCDOT. DOT needs to be able to access security lighting for maintenance purposes and have them accessible to their vehicles. If security lighting was included in these features, DOT would not be able to maintain them properly.

Aside from the maintenance of security lighting issue, playgrounds, dog runs, basketball, courts, etc. are not lit because the public is not really supposed to be using those features after dark, or after specified periods of time.

Some large ball fields like soccer fields or football fields do have floodlights, but those are specific to the use. Those types of lights can be a nuisance to residential neighbors and if other features like playgrounds or skate parks are lit, people would be using them at night and that’s not something the city wants the public to do. I hope this is helpful.

Hmm. So if I actually read them, I’ll be happier working in an understaffed, gridlocked, hell asylum with no support from the “higher ups”??? 🤔

Since I work for the city, I always get the mayor’s stupid hot air emails. I always want to unsubscribe but I can’t.

This is just stupid. The whole point of living in New York is that you can be as drunk as you want because you don’t have to drive. Everybody knows this. 🤦🏻‍♂️

This comment is correct. Plus Trump was particularly polarizing which drove even more voters to the polls. The article even states this. To compare the two and make assumptions about Hochul or the Democratic Party is unfair. Yes, there are issues with the dem machine in New York, But this is all about minority party enthusiasm and turnout.
