If so, please point me to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why, you ask? I&#8217;m really curious about the preparations around traffic congestion. My inner traffic nerd is itching to read your reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for the work you and the OETF did, and for having the foresight to think ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a name that sounds like science fiction, the Ontario Eclipse Task&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[282],"tags":[1915,147,592],"class_list":["post-33071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article","tag-eclipse2024","tag-ontario","tag-traffic","wpcat-282-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33071"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33075,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33071\/revisions\/33075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
