Cllr Nuala Killeen of Celbridge Leixlip MD brought forward the following motions.
Anti skid measures will be installed in Confey at the pedestrian crossing.
Cllr Nuala Killeen of the Social Democrats asked the council undertake a road safety assessment of the pedestrian traffic lights in Confey.
This followed recent reports of motorists either not seeing the lights as they turn red or not having sufficient time to stop, to establish if an engineering solution might be required to make the area safer.
Cllr Killen said she that hopefully these measures will be enough to reduce risk.
The council has said it considered that the visibility to the traffic signals and the traffic signal
safety timings are adequate on this 50kph section of carriage way.
It is proposed to provide additional road markings, including anti-skid surfacing to further highlight the presence of the pedestrian crossing n Confey.
Cllr Killeen has called for an allocation of units for transition accommodation, for people to fleeing or seeking refuge from domestic abuse situations.
"People in the most vulnerable cohorts are the most at risk of homelessness," she insisted.
The council has said short-term emergency accommodation (e g. B&B/hotel) can be considered to assist people who are unable to return to their homes because of domestic violence on a humanitarian basis, without having to assess eligibility for social housing supports.
However, it said where a long-term housing need is identified, a social housing assessment will be required.
