Bryan / College Station Unified Design Guidelines

DESIGN GUIDELINES

---

The City of Bryan has adopted the Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines or PROWAG. Please start using PROWAG for all new projects. We will allow projects that may have already started under TAS to continue with that standard through October 1, 2024. This only applies to the City of Bryan at this time. The City of College Station is considering adopting this standard as well but has not done so at this time.

Please visit access-board.gov/prowag for information on PROWAG.

The current B/CS Unified Design Guidelines for Drinking Water, Wastewater, Streets, and Drainage are available below in PDF format. These manuals guide engineers in designing the infrastructure to the acceptable standards of both the City of Bryan and the City of College Station.

All designs shall be submitted with a letter acknowledging that city standards were followed.  Any deviations from these standards shall be listed in the acknowledgment letter. 

Please contact us with any questions or comments concerning the items on this web page.
