Two new speed bumps have been installed on 5th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues as part of the [changes coming to 4th Ave](/blog/transportation/revised-4th-avenue-safety-plan-approved-by-community-board-6) to improve safety along the busy corridor. These were requested by the principal of [MS 51](http://www.ms51.org/?ref=bklyner.com), the adjacent school, according to [DNAInfo](http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130711/park-slope/dot-safety-plan-for-fourth-avenue-finally-approved-by-community-board-6?ref=bklyner.com).

Work on 4th Avenue changes, which include cutting traffic from three lanes to two south of Carroll Street and six left-turn bans, was [scheduled to get underway yesterday](/blog/news/4th-avenue-safety-improvements-begin-august-19), but we didn’t spot anything happening just yet. If you notice work beginning, let us know.
