Parking lot striping in 97080 covers east Gresham and Powell Valley -- the retail strips along SE Powell Boulevard, the small-business and church lots between Hogan and 257th, and the apartment complexes filling in along the Springwater Corridor edge. The lot mix here is mid-size retail, suburban office condo pads, manufactured-home community circulation, and the church and community-center lots that anchor the residential neighborhoods. Most calls here are maintenance-cycle re-stripe with ADA refresh.
What 97080 Lots Look Like
The defining feature of 97080 stripe work is the mix of lot ages. East Gresham has paved development going back to the 1960s in some pockets and 2020 in others, which means the stripe scope varies more by lot than by ZIP. Older lots need ADA bring-up; newer lots usually just need cycle re-stripe. Three patterns repeat:
- Retail strips along Powell -- 30 to 120 stalls, restaurants and small grocers, single accessible stall per pad.
- Small office condo pads -- 12 to 40 stalls, professional services tenant mix, ADA route to multiple suite entries.
- Apartment complex internal lots -- 60 to 200+ stalls, multiple ADA stalls clustered near building entries, fire-lane footage that is often non-trivial.
The Springwater Corridor edge adds a pedestrian-flow element on lots that back up to the multi-use trail. Stripe scope often includes a marked pedestrian path from the trail entry to the building.
Painting Sequence for an East Gresham Lot
A typical 97080 stripe job runs:
- Pre-survey walk with stall count and ADA gap map.
- Power-blow and broom to clear leaf litter and debris.
- Pre-mark stall corners (chalk for new layout, trace existing for straight re-stripe).
- Lay perimeter, fire-lane outlines, and stop bars first.
- Spray standard stall lines.
- Hand-paint ADA stalls and access aisles with heavier paint mil.
- Stencil arrows, "STOP" lettering, "EV ONLY" symbols, crosswalks.
- Final walk-through with the property owner.
A 60-stall retail lot finishes in one daylight visit; a 180-stall apartment complex takes 1.5 to 2 days. Most 97080 work is daylight -- the lots are small enough to phase and the tenant calendars allow midday work. Night premium is rare here.
Cost Discipline: What 97080 Striping Runs
Stripe pricing scales with stall count, ADA scope, fire-lane footage, and surface condition. The industry baseline below frames the spread; the real quote depends on what the walk surfaces.
Industry Baseline Range
| Scope | Per Stall (re-stripe) | Per Stall (new layout) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 90-degree stall | $4 to $8 | $8 to $13+ |
| ADA stall with access aisle | $20 to $45 | $40 to $90+ |
| Fire lane painting (per linear foot) | $0.75 to $1.50 | $1.25 to $2.50+ |
| Crosswalk (per crosswalk) | $90 to $250 | $200 to $500+ |
| EV stall stencil pack | $80 to $180 | $150 to $300+ |
| Pedestrian path stripe (Springwater connector, per linear foot) | $1.25 to $2.50 | $2.00 to $3.50+ |
Current Market Reality
Traffic-paint material cost has held high since 2022. Multnomah County crew rates are above rural Oregon but slightly below the central-Portland tier where prevailing wage and night premium are more common. A 97080 lot that was a $2,000 stripe in 2019 is closer to $3,000 to $3,400 today for the same scope. The other 97080-specific cost driver is paint surface condition. Older Powell-corridor lots have oxidized to the point where stripe adhesion is weaker without a primer pass. We will either prime under the stripe (adds material) or accept that the new stripe will fade faster (shorter re-stripe cycle). Property managers choose which trade-off makes sense.
ADA Compliance on 97080 Lots
Oregon's 2026 ADA stripe rules require accessible stalls to scale with total stall count -- 1 per 25 standard up to 100, then 1 per 50 above. Van-accessible stalls need 8-foot access aisles. Slope tolerance is 1:48 in any direction inside the stall and access aisle. Older 97080 lots routinely fail at least one test:
- Stall count below the current required minimum.
- Access aisles striped at 5 feet rather than 8 feet for van-accessible.
- Missing accessible route from ADA stall to building entry.
- Cross-slope drift outside tolerance due to settlement.
We map gaps on the pre-stripe walk and itemize the bring-up cost separately. The property manager makes the call. For deeper Oregon-specific detail, see our ADA parking compliance in Oregon page.
Springwater Corridor Adjacency
Lots backing up to Springwater have a few unique scope items. The most common is a marked pedestrian connector from the trail edge to the building entry, painted with a contrasting stripe that survives bike-tire wear. Some 97080 lots also have a separate bike-rack zone striped with hatch pattern. None of these are required by Oregon code, but they are increasingly common as property managers respond to the trail traffic.
Scopes That Pair With Stripe in 97080
Most 97080 lots benefit from bundling. Common pair-ins:
- Crack fill on the worst seams ahead of paint.
- Sealcoat first if the lot is in its seal-cycle window (fresh seal makes stripe pop).
- Wheel stop replacement at ADA stalls.
- Bollard touch-up at tenant entries and trail-edge protection.
Bundling saves mobilization cost and gives the lot a complete refresh in one visit. We itemize so the property manager can see each scope's number separately. For property managers running multiple Gresham or Portland lots, our Gresham line striping and broader Multnomah County striping coverage pages outline the route. For commercial portfolio scope, our commercial striping in Gresham page covers bundled pricing.
How a 97080 Stripe Quote Comes Together
We walk the lot, count stalls, map ADA gaps, measure fire-lane footage, photograph stripe-fade severity, and identify scheduling constraints. The written quote itemizes line items so the property manager can choose between maintenance-only and full compliance bring-up. Most quotes turn around inside 48 hours.
Cojo runs stripe crews across the Portland metro corridor April through October. We are CCB-licensed and insured, and we hold stripe work to the standard Oregon ADA inspectors expect because this is jurisdiction we work in every week.
Request a stripe quote and we will schedule a 97080 walk inside the next 1 to 2 weeks. Most lots can book within 14 days in peak season.
