Early this morning in Tompkins Square Dark

EVG reader Joe shared these photo of Tompkins Square Park at first light this morning. As you can see, the lights are off inside the Park...
As we reported on Monday, the lights were out overnight in the Park from Thursday through Saturday, with a return on Sunday night. 

Meanwhile, some parkgoers noted that the lights were on during the day. Here's what happened. According to Parks employees, the timer on the lights was set incorrectly. They were supposed to come on at 7 p.m.; instead, they switched on at 7 a.m. and off at 7 p.m. 

We were told on Monday that workers adjusted them to being on 24/7, but hope to have them switched to the correct timer cycle. Apparently not!

    It’s really beautiful. I wish they’d leave it like this. The park is closed anyway

    I agree with the previous comment. Much nicer to have them off once the park is closed

    With the gates closed and lights out, the greater chance of criminality are multiplied.

    But why does it keep happening? How many Parks workers does it take to set a timer?
