I would say that the municipalities certainly don't control where level crossings go. Level crossings, as I understand it, are controlled by the Canadian Transport Commission and have to have their approval before they can be put forth or be created. Municipalities really don't have any input into that whatsoever. They may request it, but in the last few years in the city that I live in, I don't recall level crossings being created. In fact, there are some being reduced--they'll just be going in the other direction.
