Pennsylvania Statutes Title 8 Pa.C.S.A. Boroughs and Incorporated Towns § 1734. Acceptance and dedication of streets

(a) Accept an opened street.--A borough may, by ordinance, accept an opened street not previously dedicated to or laid out by the borough by following the procedure set forth in section 1731 (relating to authority to open and vacate streets and procedure) or 1732 (relating to petition for opening or vacating street and action thereon), and the effect of the acceptance shall be the same as of opening the street. No street may be accepted unless the street connects with at least one other previously opened street or State highway.

(b) Prohibition.--No borough may acquire a right in or responsibility for a street privately constructed until dedication of the street has been presented to and accepted by the borough and until the dedication has been recorded in the county office for the recording of deeds.
