Probably some sort of green initiative and if vandalism isn't really a problem then it would seem an unnecessary expense to prevent it. Light doesn't really do much to prevent vandalism if the vandals are pretty confident there is nobody around anyway (when I was a kid we did all kinds of things to our very well lit high school in the middle of the night).
As a frequent late night traveler I've often wondered just how much electricity we'd save if cities and business didn't feel it important to keep everything lit 24 hours a day.
