ADA Parking Striping in Mt Angel, Oregon: Bringing Your Lot Up to Code

Restriping a Mt Angel Lot to ADA Layout

Mt Angel punches well above its weight in parking demand. A small Marion County town most of the year, it becomes a regional destination each September for Oktoberfest, and the hilltop abbey and seminary draw visitors year-round. That means the accessible spaces on Mt Angel lots get real, scrutinized use — and when the striping fades, the compliance fades with it. A restripe is the moment a property either drifts out of code or gets fully corrected.

Restriping is far more than refreshing tired paint. It is the cheapest opportunity you will ever have to fix an accessible layout that was wrong from the start, because the cost of laying out a compliant stall is nearly identical to laying out a non-compliant one. This guide walks Mt Angel owners through an ADA-correct restripe. For the broader rules, start with our ADA parking compliance guide for Oregon.

How Many Accessible Stalls Your Mt Angel Lot Needs

Accessible count follows total stall count at roughly one space per 25.

Total Spaces	Required Accessible	Van-Accessible Minimum
1–25	1	1
26–50	2	1
51–75	3	1
76–100	4	1

At least one in every six accessible spaces, rounded up, must be van-accessible. A 22-stall downtown lot needs one space, and it must be van-accessible. A 90-stall church or campus lot needs four accessible spaces, at least one van. Compliance counts your permanent striped lot — not the temporary grass overflow that appears during festival weekend.

The Striping Spec: What Gets Painted

An ADA-correct restripe paints to exact dimensions, not by eye.

Stall Dimensions

• Standard accessible stall: minimum 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle
• Van-accessible stall: minimum 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle, or 11 feet wide with a 5-foot aisle
• Slope: the finished stall and aisle cannot exceed 2 percent in any direction

Mt Angel's rising terrain makes slope worth checking before any paint goes down — a stall on a settled grade can fail the 2 percent rule no matter how perfect the lines are.

The Access Aisle

The access aisle is where a wheelchair lift or ramp deploys and is the most-skipped element on small-town restripes. It needs diagonal hatching, must sit flush with the stall, and must connect to an accessible route to the door. Two stalls can share one aisle. Painting "NO PARKING" in the aisle is strongly recommended. Hatch spacing and shared-aisle rules are detailed in our ADA access aisle striping spec.

The Symbol and Markings

Each accessible stall gets the International Symbol of Accessibility, typically white on a blue field, plus blue stall borders as common Oregon practice. These markings fade under valley winters and summer UV and should be inspected annually — especially before festival season, when accessible use peaks.

Signage Goes Up With the Paint

Pavement paint alone is not enough. Each accessible space needs a wheelchair-symbol sign mounted at least 60 inches above grade to the bottom of the sign, plus a "Van Accessible" plate on van stalls and Oregon's supplemental fine-amount sign. A correct restripe coordinates new paint with compliant signage so the whole stall meets code at once. The 2026 details are in our Oregon ADA striping requirements for 2026 guide.

Why Restriping Is the Right Time to Fix Compliance

Mt Angel has older asphalt — small commercial lots and campus parking striped before current van ratios and aisle widths were standard. When that paint fades to a full restripe, the lot is effectively blank, making it the cheapest moment to:

• Widen an accessible stall that was always too narrow
• Add a missing van-accessible aisle
• Move stalls onto the shortest accessible route to the entrance
• Bring the aisle up to correct width and hatch pattern

Repainting the old layout exactly just re-locks any existing violations for another two years. Fixing them during a restripe costs little more.

Weather, Timing, and Durability

Mt Angel sits in the wet northern Willamette Valley, where damp winters and freeze-thaw cycles shorten paint life. Water-based traffic paint typically holds 12 to 24 months before accessible markings start to wash out. The striping window runs late spring through early fall, when temperatures stay above 50°F and the pavement is dry. For Mt Angel specifically, aim to complete restriping well before September so accessible markings are fresh for Oktoberfest's heavy accessible-parking demand.

What a Compliant Restripe Costs

Striping costs are industry baseline ranges, and real projects often run higher with prep and signage. As a reference, a complete ADA-compliant accessible stall — including the hatched access aisle, the symbol stencil, and proper signage — has been baselined around $200 to $350 per space. Surface condition and signage drive the final number. Only a site visit gives an accurate figure. See our professional striping services for what a Cojo restripe includes.
