This Week: Vision Zero Forums, Tour de Queens

12:27 PM EDT on June 30, 2014

It's a light holiday week on the Streetsblog calendar, but there are opportunities to weigh in on street safety in Brooklyn and Queens, get involved in the commuter tax break effort, and tour Queens by bike.

Here's what's happening:
