Group spokeswoman Julie Nyssen told the council this week that a lack of staff at the primary schools meant there were not enough adults to man the crossing each school day morning and this could only be achieved in the afternoon.
Councillor Hamish McDouall said he understood the need for a crossing but hoped school staff and parents could somehow have the crossing manned morning and afternoon.
A number of Dominican sisters were at the meeting and later told Mrs Nyssen they would be prepared to help.
"The sisters have their high school to deal with but they've told me they're getting a roster together. I know if we can get the kea crossing going in the morning our parents will be a lot happier," she said.
She said the school would welcome help from other adults in the community who might be able to give their time.
Mrs Nyssen told the council that as well as students attending the schools, a safe crossing was needed for others getting to and from the Gonville kindergarten and the nearby hockey stadium.
She said there was "irrefutable evidence" that it was a dangerous road for pedestrians, and they became alarmed after being told by council engineers that unless the crossing was manned morning and afternoon, it would be removed.
Roading engineer Rui Leitao told the meeting that kea and pedestrian crossing were governed by regulations set by the NZ Transport Agency.
"Kea crossings are for schools and not specifically for all pedestrians," he said, adding a pedestrian crossing was not warranted because there were "huge gaps" in terms of traffic using the road. A kea and pedestrian crossing is in place outside Carlton School but Mr Leitao said Carlton Ave had very high traffic volumes. Mrs Nyssen said the group was "very happy" with the outcome.
