participate, said the team measured, surveyed and inspected the crossing.
"In the next week to 10 days, they will review the survey information and add to that different statistics, such as the number of trains through there every day and vehicle traffic." Whitley said. "Then, possibly, they could come up with a recommendation concerning the crossing."
Brady said the railroad, the county and the department of transportation would review the team's information to follow its official recommendation.
If the agencies decide to improve the crossing, the federal government would pay 90 percent of the cost, and the railroad and the county would decide how to split the remaining 10 percent, he said.
Whitley said the review was not instigated by the deaths of four KU students March 27 at the crossing.
"From what I understand, this is one of a series of normal reviews we've conducted across the state," he said.

Jeff VanCoevern, a Lawrence resident and 1970 KU graduate, said he also had been struck by a train at that crossing in October 1973. And Steven Hicks, Lawrence freshman, said that last summer he barely avoided a train while driving across the tracks there.
VanCoevern said that he had complained several times to Union Pacific railroad about the crossing.
"They just told me, 'You were racing the train. So just go along about your business, citizen,' " he said.
Whitley said he did not know when the train crossing had last been improved.
Yesterday's review of the crossing was part of a transportation department plan to upgrade train crossings statewide, Whitley said.
Of about 9,000 Kansas train crossings to be reviewed, the fatal crossing was number 2,164 in priority, he said.

The Bottom Line coalition had requested recounts of the off-campus, fine arts, engineering and education races. The Synchronicity coalition requested recounts of the architecture and non-traditional seats.
Glatter said the board also recounted journalism, business and social welfare seats because workers found extra ballots for these schools among the recounted schools.
