The streetlights? Fine, whatever. If they wanted to go in a classic traditional New York direction, ok. It's definetely not what I would have done. I would have gone very upscale and modern. You could still use warm natural materials just in contemporary ways. My beef is mostly what is up with all the bargain basement concrete everywhere? We're talking a development surrounding this park work with a $10 billion + investment. This end product for the park just doesn't look up to par with such a zone. Like I said I would have expected an effort and finish akin to Snøhetta's Times Square project here.
