Abstract
MR. O'DELL: Thank you.I just want to give a bit of an update overview of the Windsor-Detroit Crossing project or the Detroit River International Crossing, DRIC, one of the worst acronyms I have ever encountered but we seem to be stuck with at the moment.That is with an I, not an E.And anyway, I guess we are going to have time for questions at the end of this as well, so I will sort of move through and try to bring you up to date as to where we are in our project.The Bi-national Transportation Partnership is a four-party organization made up of the federal governments of Canada and the United States, and the state of Michigan and the province of Ontario, all represented by the various transportation departments; 2 in the case of the United States federal government through federal highways, which is a part of USDOT. 3 The purpose of our study was to establish additional capacity crossing the border in Windsor-Detroit area, across the Detroit River.Certainly following September 11 th, 2001, but even before then, it became increasingly obvious that capacity constraints were going to start to bite on the Detroit River crossing.At the moment, there is one bridge.4 It is about 80 years old, a four-lane bridge, and there is a tunnel which was only two lanes which is also of a similar vintage, around 80 years old.5 The tunnel is not able to handle large * Sean O'Dell is currently the Executive Director of the Windsor Gateway Project with Transport Canada.Mr. O'Dell has more than 25 years of experience working with governments, international organizations and multi-national companies.In addition, he has considerable experience in developing broad strategic assessments and recommendations in a wide variety of financial, economic and policy areas.Over the past 25 years, Mr. O'Dell has occupied positions with the Government of Alberta Treasury in Edmonton, Alberta; in the Economics Department of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario; with Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa; as Chief Economist of the International Energy Agency (OECD) in Paris, France; and as a private consultant based in Paris, France and Toronto, Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
