Parking lot striping in 97036 means working the Marylhurst University area and the adjacent commercial corridor on the west side of the Willamette River, just south of Lake Oswego. The zip is small geographically but concentrated -- it covers the former Marylhurst University campus (now part of the Catholic Hospice and several private-school and tenant uses), the commercial frontage along Hwy-43, and a sliver of residential and mixed-use property. Striping work here is dominated by tenant turnover, ADA-compliance upgrades on older lots, and EV-charger stall integration on the newer ones. Lot conditions vary widely across short distances, and the Lake Oswego permit jurisdiction tightens what is allowed on the public-facing edges.
What 97036 Striping Jobs Look Like
The work mix breaks into three commercial categories. First: the campus and former-campus lots -- multi-building parking that has been re-tenanted multiple times and carries the legacy of older striping layouts that no longer match current ADA code. Second: the small commercial along Hwy-43 -- professional offices, the small retail clusters serving the area, and the parking adjacent to West Linn and Lake Oswego that gets traffic spillover. Third: HOA and private-association lots in the residential pockets, where the rules favor uniform geometry and discrete colors over the louder commercial signage you find further out on the corridor.
Practical scope reads like this. A campus lot restripe runs 80 to 300 stalls. A small commercial lot runs 12 to 50 stalls. HOA lots run 20 to 80 stalls. We chalk and pre-mark the new layout, then apply traffic-grade waterborne paint with thermoplastic on the crosswalks, stop bars, and high-wear directional arrows. ADA stall layout and EV-charger placement get mapped against current Oregon code before paint goes down.
ADA Compliance and EV-Charger Integration
The single biggest reason a 97036 property calls for restriping is ADA compliance. Many of the older lots in the area were striped to pre-2010 standards -- 8-foot stalls, missing access aisles, undefined van-accessible spaces, and signage at the wrong height or with the wrong symbol. Current code requires 8-foot stalls with a 5-foot access aisle, 8-foot aisles on van-accessible stalls, accessible-route mapping from the parking to the building entrance, and current signage on a 60-inch post.
EV-charger stalls are the newer wrinkle. Properties that install Level 2 chargers need to plan stall geometry around the charger location, designate EV-only or EV-priority status, and integrate the layout with the rest of the lot's stall flow. We map EV stalls during the restripe rather than as an afterthought -- retrofitting them on a finished lot is expensive and usually compromises the layout. For the underlying requirements, see our ADA parking compliance in Oregon guide.
Industry Cost Picture for a 97036 Striping Job
Cost in Marylhurst swings on lot size, the proportion of new layout versus simple repaint, ADA stall count, EV-charger integration, and how much pre-cleaning the existing lot needs. A clean repaint of an existing layout is one number. A full ADA + EV redo with new geometry, accessible routes, signage, and thermoplastic crosswalks is a different number entirely.
Industry Baseline Range
| Project Type | Cost Per Stall | Typical Total |
|---|---|---|
| Standard restripe, retail / office | $5 to $10 | $300 to $2,500 |
| Full layout, new lot | $10 to $20 | $1,000 to $7,000 |
| ADA stall + ramp + signage | $80 to $250 per stall | varies |
| EV-charger stall layout | $80 to $200 per stall | varies |
| Thermoplastic crosswalk | $5 to $14 per LF | $400 to $3,500 |
Current Market Reality
Traffic paint, thermoplastic material, ADA signage hardware, and the labor cost for a metro-area crew day have all pushed real Marylhurst pricing above baseline since 2022. A standard restripe that the baseline frames at $5 per stall typically lands at $9 to $14 here today. ADA upgrades that require concrete curb-ramp work, sign-post installation, or detectable-warning surface coordination run their own scope.

Climate, Permits, and the Paint Window
The 97036 paint window is roughly April through October. Traffic paint needs surface temperature above 50 degrees F, ideally above 60 degrees F, and dry weather for at least 4 to 6 hours after application for waterborne paint. The west-side Willamette climate gives us 35 to 45 inches of annual rain falling mostly October through May. Practical striping season is mid-April through late September, with the best windows in June through August.
Permits depend on whether the work touches the public right-of-way. Lake Oswego controls the urban-edge city limits and the permit rules are strict on the public-facing edges. Clackamas County handles the unincorporated parts of the zip. ODOT Region 1 owns Hwy-43 and any frontage striping on the highway shoulder needs an ODOT encroachment permit. Private-property striping inside the lot typically does not require a permit unless you are changing stall count for parking-minimum compliance, which can trigger a planning review. We coordinate access on every job. For nearby city-edge work, see our Lake Oswego striping and Clackamas County striping coverage.
How to Time and Hire This Work
Three signals tell you it is time to restripe. First: faded paint visible from 30 feet away in daylight. Second: ADA stall geometry that no longer meets current code -- an older 8-foot stall with no access aisle is non-compliant and is a liability if you have not corrected it. Third: missing or wrong-spec EV-charger stalls if you have added or are planning to add Level 2 charging. The right cycle for a Marylhurst commercial lot is 3 to 4 years for visible quality, 2 years if ADA or EV changes are stacking up.
Ask three questions of any 97036 bidder. First: what paint product and mil thickness are you specifying? Second: is the layout ADA-compliant under current 2026 Oregon code? Third: is thermoplastic in the scope for high-wear marks? A bidder who quotes without walking the lot is not the right bidder for this work. Many of the 97036 lots have legacy quirks -- old curb-cut alignments, planter beds that constrain stall geometry, sloped surfaces that limit ADA-stall placement -- and the layout needs a walk before paint goes down. Curbing scope often pairs with striping and is handled through our concrete services page.
