48:12-64. Petition for removal of grade crossing; hearing; notice; determination
Any railroad company or companies whose tracks cross or are crossed at grade by a public highway, or the body having charge of the finances of any municipality or county having jurisdiction over any such highway, may present to the board a petition in writing setting forth the facts upon which relief under sections 48:12-61 to 48:12-67 of this Title is sought, or the board may of its own motion proceed with respect to any such crossing or crossings.
Thereupon the board shall fix a time and place for a hearing before it and shall order the railroad or railroads to give such notice thereof as it shall deem reasonable to the municipality or county and to the corporations, copartnerships or individuals interested therein. After such hearing the board shall determine or order what, if any, alterations to or changes in or connected with the crossing or crossings and public highway shall be made.
