A request has been made for traffic calming measures and signalised lights in a housing estate.
Cllr Nuala Killeen also asked Kildare County Council to review the junction at the entrance to Glen Easton in Leixlip.

KCC engineer Donal Hodgins pointed out there is a driver feedback sign provided on one approach in addition to traffic calming on both approaches to the junction.
He told a Celbridge-Leixlip Municipal District meeting that four signal-controlled pedestrian crossings are provided within 1km of the junction.
“It is considered that the provision of a signal-controlled junction is not warranted,” he said.
He added that the location will be reviewed “ to consider what geometric modifications can be made” to improve how the junction operates.
He also said any future improvement works will depend on money being available.
