The Department of Streets is pleased to announce that testing of the tower 
lights will resume on Wednesday, April 11. During the December testing phase, a 
manufacturing defect was discovered and the Department of Streets ordered the 
replacement of all lighting elements. New lights have since been manufactured 
and installed. 

For the April test, the towers will be illuminated with various patterns so 
that the accuracy of the colors and the effectiveness of each lighting element 
can be determined. The lights will then go dark until they are formally 
commissioned. Please be advised that the test patterns are not the permanent 
displays. An additional notice will be sent to you when a date to formally 
light the towers is determined.

Thank you for your patience.
