Wood Street Station bustles during the day but grows quiet after rush hour. Darkness settles over Downtown, and traffic thins on Liberty Avenue. A few people waiting for buses sit on steel benches at the station, wedged on Liberty between Sixth Avenue and Wood Street. A man wearing a suit walks by, his pace quick. A light installation on the station’s Liberty Avenue wall reflects off a building across the street, bathing the intersection in a red glow. Here’s what it looked like between 7 and 8 on Monday night.
