Any public service company or companies whose tracks cross over, under or upon a state highway or any other main highway leading from one town to another, the municipality within which such crossing is located may bring a petition in writing to the Commissioner of Transportation for authority to eliminate any dangerous condition which exists at such crossing, and said commissioner shall thereupon appoint a time and place for hearing such petition or the commissioner may, on his own motion set such hearing and shall give such notice thereof to such company or companies and to any public service company having tracks, wires, poles or other fixtures located in or adjacent to such highway at or near such crossing, and to such municipality, to all adjoining land owners whose property would be affected as he judges reasonable. The petitioner shall file with such petition plans and specifications for, and an estimate of the cost of, removing such dangerous condition, including the cost of all labor, materials and engineering services and of the taking of any land or interest in land that may be necessary, together with the names and addresses of all persons or corporations whose land would be affected by the elimination of such dangerous condition.
