Why is lighting not included in the design?

Adding lighting would conflict with the Golden Gate Park Master Plan, which does not allow for new lighting to extend nighttime use. (Golden Gate Park Master Plan, Utilities and Infrastructure, Park Lighting Section 9-5.) The Golden Gate Park Master Plan is a comprehensive document adopted by the Recreation and Park Commission that establishes a framework for the management of Golden Gate Park over the next century.
