So when we have our lit fields, a number of them, apologies, I don't remember off the top of my head what that number is, can be activated remotely and set.

In some cases, it will depend on the lighting fixture that they are used.

And some of the older lighting fixtures kind of just go out a little bit more.

David Cerrone

So we do work very closely with the boroughs to ensure that they're available and that the lights are functioning correctly.

David Cerrone

In the cases that I've been involved with, we've always been able to get the lights on.

But if the light is out, it sounds like maybe that is the case in one of the examples that you have.
