Blackheath Public School has been trying for more than two years to get flashing lights installed at its main school crossing.
There are lights on the Great Western Highway but the school has long closed those entry gates because of the danger.
Instead the children and their parents use Wentworth Street but there are real fears that the crossing is simply an accident waiting to happen.
P & C vice-president, Ally Drinkwater, wrote to council months ago but it was only last week that staff met with school representatives.
"This conversation has been going on and on. There's a genuine concern that we could lose a child," Ms Drinkwater said.
At day's end, Wentworth Street is crowded with buses and cars as well as many children on foot. The crossing is operated by a lollypop woman in a high vis vest.
School principal, Jane Davies, said: "It has been going on for two years. Does it take a child getting hurt? Surely it shouldn't take so long."
The other issue for Blackheath is in Leichhardt St where there's no loading zone for deliveries to the canteen and where the disabled parking spot is on a slope and not fit for purpose.
Canteen manager Christine Curtis said all of her delivery drivers have been booked for unloading not in a specified loading zone.
Many of them have to park a block away and carry their produce in.
The three Ward 1 councillors raised the issue with council, which responded by having a meeting on site last week.
Cr Kerry Brown said: "Following our visit to Blackheath Public, all ward one councillors have agreed that the crossings, traffic movement and accessibility for disabled students and school suppliers need prompt improvement.
"Flashing 40K zones signs are a no-brainer. We asked staff to take action on this as a matter of urgency."
At the meeting, a range of options was discussed to improve safety and access.
A council spokeswoman said these would be considered before recommended actions were forwarded to the local traffic committee. This would be done as soon as possible, she said.
