Hi Ilana!

Are there any public reports available from the OETF? If so, please point me to them.

Why, you ask? I’m really curious about the preparations around traffic congestion. My inner traffic nerd is itching to read your reports.

When I drove to Illinois for the 2017 total; the travel home took ~8 hours longer than expected due to traffic. Totally worth it, of course.

I excepted significant congestion on the QEW and 401 this time, so I stayed home (Peterborough, 99.4% coverage). Amazing how much light 0.6% of the sun still casts!

Thanks for the work you and the OETF did, and for having the foresight to think ahead.

Cheers!
