Poplar Square, Naas
Three pedestrian crossings are needed on one road in Naas.
Four councillors - Evie Sammon, Fintan Brett, Carmel Kelly and Ger Dunne - made the request at a Naas Municipal District committee meeting.

They want the crossings located at Meadows and Byrne, Roseville estate and an integrated crossing from Barker and Jones to the PTSB building.
KCC engineer Donal Hodgins pointed out that the councillors have allocated €50,000 in 2025 for the provision of a new signalised pedestrian crossing and ancillary works in these areas.
Mr Hodgins said it will be possible to progress the design of one new signalised crossing “and other crossings can be provided subject to funding being available.”
He also said any work at the Poplar Square junction “has significant complications due to the presence of underground culverts close to the surface.”
He said there it would be necessary to review the width of the existing crossings and the number of approach lanes.”
This, he added, is needed to tackle drivers who “exit the junction when the pedestrian green man is showing.”
