Just a blog about urban and transport issues. It started as an English translation of my French-language blog "kchoze urbaine", though now I'm primarily writing in English to reach a wider audience.

I'm a traffic engineer (the irony!) from Québec, I have no urbanist formation, this is only my musings and my opinions.
