Cojo installs speed bumps across Hillsboro, Oregon — parking lots, private community roads, and the heavy distribution-center and tech-campus footprint that defines this part of Washington County. Anything touching public right-of-way runs through the Hillsboro Development Code plus Hillsboro Public Works for traffic-calming coordination. Private lots: no city permit, but ADA-accessible routes (ADA Title III) and fire-apparatus access (IFC Section 503) still apply.
Below: Hillsboro's permit setup, the neighborhoods we run, three real installs, and how to get on our quote schedule.
Three layers, depending on where the bump is going:
A speed bump installed entirely on private parking-lot property in Hillsboro does not require a city permit. Cojo verifies that the install preserves ADA-accessible routes, fire-apparatus access per Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, and adjacent stormwater facilities subject to Hillsboro's stormwater management code.
Hillsboro public-street speed humps follow Hillsboro Public Works' traffic-calming process. The Hillsboro Development Code specifies design standards for public-street improvements but does not directly regulate private parking-lot speed bumps.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVFR) covers Hillsboro and surrounding Washington County. TVFR coordination is required for any speed bump on a designated fire-apparatus access road. Speed cushions with wheel-track gaps replace solid bumps on those roads.
Cojo provides speed-bump installation across the Hillsboro service area, including:
For installs in adjacent Beaverton and Tigard, see speed bump installation in Beaverton.
A 240-unit Hillsboro apartment complex. The property had two pedestrian-near-miss incidents in the prior 18 months and the property-insurance renewal letter had asked for engineered traffic-calming. Cojo installed five 8-foot rubber bumps after a 7-day ORS 90.322 tenant notice and door-hangers two days before install. Detailed in speed bumps for apartment complexes.
A 32,000-square-foot retail center on NW Cornell. The leasing manager had documented over-speed customer traffic and one cart-vehicle incident. Cojo installed four 8-foot rubber bumps, 3.5 inches tall, with chevron and reflective tape. Total install: 8 crew-hours over a Sunday-Monday overnight window.
A distribution center in the Sunset Highway industrial corridor. The site safety manager had documented forklift-aisle near-misses and the operations team needed engineered controls. Cojo installed six heavy-duty rubber bumps with 8-anchor-per-section forklift-rated hardware. Detailed approach in speed bumps for warehouses.
