When any political subdivision of this state determines that public safety will be improved by eliminating a crossing, by the installation, substantial modification, or improvement of automatic railroad grade crossing protection, or by construction of an overpass or underpass where a street, road, or highway intersects with a line of the railroad company within its jurisdiction, and demand is made upon the railroad company concerned, the political subdivision shall inform the department of such fact.
Upon receiving such notice, or upon its own determination, the department shall forthwith examine the crossing concerned, in conjunction with representatives of the political subdivision, to determine whether the position of such crossing on the priority list established under section 74-1312 should be adjusted.
