See minimum design standards.
Alternative reinforced concrete pavement may be submitted for approval.
Guiderail. The use of guiderails will be avoided except in the case where site conditions warrant such safety devices. Earthwork and landscaping will be done in such a manner as to eliminate any unsafe conditions or hazards near the roadway. Guiderail construction will follow the most-current sections of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Road Construction Standards and Publication 408. All guiderails will have proper end treatments. When guiderails are required in a residential subdivision, consideration will be given to the use of alternate designs.
Sidewalks. Sidewalks may be constructed in accordance with the Municipality's Subdivision Ordinance.[3] When sidewalks are constructed, they will have a minimum width of five feet and a minimum thickness of four inches of reinforced concrete and four inches of stone base. At locations where sidewalks cross driveways, the minimum concrete thickness shall be increased to six inches. Alternate designs may be submitted to the Municipal Engineer for approval.
Curb-cut ramps. Curb-cut ramps will be required at all intersections where sidewalks are present and at other locations deemed necessary by the Municipal Engineer. Curb-cut ramps will be designed as a sidewalk section in accordance with the most-current requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Pedestrian signals. Pedestrian signals will be required where the safety of pedestrians warrants such devices. When pedestrian signals are required, they will be designed and constructed in accordance with the most-current requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Utilities. In accordance with the Municipality's Subdivision Ordinance, all utilities will be located in the public right-of-way but outside the pavement section, or within a utility easement, wherever possible. All utilities will be located a minimum of 3.5 feet behind the back of the curb. When utilities must cross the pavement, they will do so at an angle perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pavement. If future utilities are forecast to cross the pavement section, the developer will install metal or plastic conduit pipe to accommodate such utilities. All utilities and/or conduits will be installed prior to the placement of any pavement. For the construction of utilities within existing municipal rights-of-way, all provisions of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Publication 408 and Pennsylvania Code, Title 67, Chapter 459, Occupancy of Highways by Utilities, shall apply for work within the right-of-way. Manholes, valve boxes, curb stops and other such accessways shall be kept out of the sidewalk areas.
Driveways. All private driveways will be so located as to conform to the stopping sight distance requirements listed in this chapter. The maximum grade on a driveway will be 15%. All other driveway design criteria will be as defined in Chapter 441 of Title 67 of the Pennsylvania Code, Access to and occupancy of highways by driveways and local roads.
Curbs and shoulders. The standard curb for local roads will be a bituminous wedge curb 12 inches wide and five inches in height. The wedge curb will be constructed at the same time and of the same material as the roadway. Concrete curbs may be constructed where conditions warrant their use or when directed by the Engineer. Concrete curbs and gutters will be constructed in accordance with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation RC-64 Standards. When it is necessary to construct roadway shoulders, either a Type 1 or Type 3 shoulder may be used, as directed by the Engineer. Shoulder construction will be in accordance with the most-current Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Road Construction Standards.
Parking lots. The design of parking lots will be as described in the Municipality's Zoning Ordinance.[4] In addition to those requirements, in order to assure proper drainage, the minimum grade will be 1%, and the maximum grade will be 7%.
Temporary turnarounds. Temporary turnarounds will not be permitted. If the proposed development is to be constructed in phases, the streets shall be so designed as to have the phase line at an intersection.
Earthwork. All earthwork will be in accordance with the Municipality's Land Operations Ordinance.[5] In addition, all earthwork will be performed under the supervision of a qualified geotechnical engineer when recommended by the Municipal Engineer.
Erosion and sedimentation control. All new roads will be constructed in such a manner as to minimize erosion and prevent the release of sediments into any body of water. An approved erosion and sedimentation control plan must be on file with the Municipality before any road work will be permitted to commence. Also, all required erosion and sedimentation control devices must be installed before earthmoving begins. The erosion and sedimentation control plan and all necessary devices will be in conformance with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual and the Westmoreland Conservation District.
Specifications. All material and methods of construction shall be in accordance with the most-current Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Publication 408 and Road Construction Standards.
Notification. The contractor will notify the Municipality one week in advance of starting work. The contractor will schedule, before the start of construction, a preconstruction meeting with the Municipality. He will, at all times during the progress of the work, have a competent superintendent or foreman on the job site. Inspection of the road and drainage work will be done by the Municipal Engineer or an appointed representative.
Earth work. All earth work will be performed in accordance with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Publication 408 and the Municipality's Land Operations Ordinance.
Topsoil. All topsoil must be stripped from the proposed subgrade and stockpiled in accordance with the erosion and sedimentation control plan. No pavement will be placed on topsoil.
Fill. All fill to be placed for roadway embankment will meet with the requirements of the geotechnical report. All fill is to be clean, well-drained and compacted to optimum density. The Municipal Engineer reserves the right to reject any roadway fill.
Cut. All cut areas will be excavated as required in the geotechnical report. No blasting will be permitted.
Preparation of subgrade.
The subgrade shall be well-rolled and fine-graded to a tolerance of no more than 0.1 foot above and 0.2 foot below the grade as shown on the plan.
All soft, plastic or rock areas in the subgrade shall be undercut to a depth of at least nine inches, or more if deemed necessary by the Municipal Engineer, and shall be refilled with approved materials, including possible use of geotextiles, and by methods approved by the Municipal Engineer.
The subgrade is to conform to the same crown as the paved surface.
The subgrade must be proof-rolled with a loaded single-axle truck carrying a gross weight of 18,000 pounds and approved by the Municipal Engineer or Director of Public Works prior to the placement of subbase or base course material.
Placement of subbase and base course materials. The material and methods of construction for this work will comply with Section 310, Crushed Aggregate Base Course, as contained in the Seldom Used Specifications, dated 1983, or Section 350, Subbase, as contained in the Publication 408 specifications, dated 1987, as amended.
Placement of bituminous base and surface courses.
The base and wearing courses shall meet the specifications of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Publication 408 and will be laid in the manner prescribed therein. All wedge curbs shall be constructed with base course material and finished with wearing course material at the same time as the wearing course is installed.
In the case of new roads or streets being constructed in new subdivision plans, the final wearing course of 1 1/2 inches will not be placed or constructed until such time as 85% of the buildings are completed in the plan. If the eighty-five-percent completion stage, as mentioned herein, takes more than five years to complete, the developer will place the final wearing course of 1 1/2 inches as directed by the Engineer at the end of the five-year period. The five-year period will begin immediately after the placement of the first one-inch wearing course. The developer will be required to maintain a performance bond with the Municipality until completion of the final wearing course of 1 1/2 inches is completed and accepted by the Municipality. The developer will supply a surety as a performance bond. This surety must be structured to give notice to the Municipality 60 days before expiration of said surety.
Complete block construction required. In addition, the complete street, from intersection to intersection, must be constructed and shall be complete as far as the entire block is concerned. Constructing a street in sections will not be acceptable. A street must be constructed from intersection to intersection or to its ending point.
Calendar and weather limitations.
Road construction work, such as filling, berming, subgrade, fine grade construction, base construction or surface construction, cannot be commenced before April 1 and must be completed by October 31 of the same year. It is assumed that the weather conditions between these dates will be acceptable for road construction. However, if adverse weather conditions occur between these dates, the contractor or builder must abide by the judgment of the Municipal Engineer in regard to permissible construction weather conditions. Work will only be permitted before or after these dates on a day-by-day basis as approved by the Municipal Engineer.
In addition, bituminous paving mixtures shall not be placed when surfaces are wet or when the temperature of either the air or the surface on which the mixture is to be placed is 40° F. or lower. When work is halted because of weather conditions, tonnage en route to the project will not be accepted.
After the bituminous base course and surface course have been placed and all other associated work has been approved, the contractor can replace the first performance bond with a new performance bond of sufficient amount, as determined by the Engineer's estimate or a signed work contract, to guarantee the repairs to the base and binder as needed and the placement of the finished ID-2 wearing course. The contractor, upon completion of the final wearing course and as a condition for acceptance by the Municipality, must provide an eighteen-month maintenance bond in the amount of 15% of the performance bond.
Prior to the conclusion of the eighteen-month period for the maintenance bond, as mentioned herein, the contractor or developer shall notify the Municipality to make final inspection of the road. Failure by the contractor or developer to request the final inspection shall result in forfeiture of said bond to the Municipality. If the condition of the road is such that the road shall not be accepted as a municipal road, the developer or contractor shall have the duty to repair or replace said road so that it will be in proper condition to be accepted by the Municipality. Nothing in this chapter, including services which the Municipality may render during the period of the performance bond and/or maintenance bond, shall be construed to mean that the road has been accepted as a municipal road.
In conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s procedure for the addition to the Municipality’s road inventory included in annual liquid fuel fund allocation determination, no streets will be approved for acceptance by the Municipality after October 1 of the calendar year. The deadline may be waived by Council on a case-by-case basis following an extension by the aforesaid Department of its deadline for such purpose or other just cause, and a recommendation by the Municipal Engineer. All final inspections must be completed before this date. A further requirement for approval to be accepted will be a legal description for each street and associated right-of-way to be accepted. The legal description will include street center line and the entire right-of-way. The legal description must be prepared and sealed by a registered surveyor. Two copies of as-built drawings, with the roads highlighted in yellow and the storm sewers highlighted in green, of all streets being offered for acceptance must be provided to the Municipality. These drawings must be sealed by a professional engineer licensed in Pennsylvania or professional surveyor licensed in Pennsylvania. These drawings must show all improvements within the street right-of-way, including pavement, sidewalks and utilities.
[Amended 11-7-2012 by Ord. No. 869-12]
The Council of Murrysville will only consider streets for acceptance that meet the following conditions:
[Added 11-7-2012 by Ord. No. 869-12]
The street(s) must be located in a plan or development that was approved by the Murrysville Council and includes language in the Council approval that said street(s) are to be considered for acceptance into the municipal street system.

There are no outstanding issues which would otherwise limit the Municipality’s ability to maintain or operate the described roadways, streets and rights-of-way.
Street signs. After the street is complete with binder and wearing course and after the maintenance bond has been provided and as soon as the first dwelling is being occupied, the developer shall request the Municipality to install a road sign or signs. The developer will be required to pay the cost of the sign(s) and of the installation work. The cost is to be the actual cost to the Municipality for the materials and labor. The sign(s) will then become the responsibility of the Municipality to maintain, replace, restore, etc. Street signs will include but not be limited to street name signs, stop signs, speed limit signs and advisory signs. The developer will also provide for any street markings, such as stop lines and crosswalks.
Snow removal. The Municipality will only provide winter maintenance on streets that have been accepted by Council. It will be the responsibility of the developer or the contractor to maintain streets that have not been accepted.
Fire hydrants. In cases where the subdivision is serviced by a waterline sufficient to enable the installation of a fire hydrant or hydrants, the developer shall contact the Municipality, which shall determine the location of such hydrant(s). The developer shall pay costs of the hydrant(s) as charged to the Municipality by the Water Authority.
Cul-de-sac streets. Cul-de-sac streets must be at least 250 feet in length, as measured from the edge of the through street to the back of the cul-de-sac curb. The cul-de-sac must have a minimum radius of 40 feet measured to the base of the curb. The right-of-way radius of a cul-de-sac will be 50 feet.
