Is it a 4:30am thing? A Saturday morning thing?

It was really dark!
Drove to CrossIron Mills tonight and between Memorial and 64 Ave I'd say up to 60, maybe 70 percent of the streetlights were off. Deerfoot is normally bad for burnt out lights but I don't think I've ever seen it this bad. The Airport Trial exit northbound and the CrossIron Mills exit both directions had a bunch out.
Bunk is right, Carmacks handles this maintnence, not the city. The issue is Carmacks contract is up with the AB Gov this year and it's pretty clear they don't want to renew.
