Aloha Businesses Need Reliable Parking Lot Striping
Aloha is one of Washington County's largest unincorporated communities, with a population rivaling many Oregon cities. The commercial corridors along SW Tualatin Valley Highway (TV Highway), SW 185th Avenue, and SW Alexander Street serve a diverse population with grocery stores, restaurants, retail centers, medical offices, auto services, and professional businesses. For Aloha property owners and managers, well-maintained parking lot striping is essential for safety, compliance, and customer satisfaction.
TV Highway is one of the busiest arterials in Washington County, and the commercial properties along it see heavy daily traffic. A professionally striped lot helps customers navigate safely, find accessible parking, and form a positive first impression of your business.
Aloha's Commercial Parking Landscape
TV Highway corridor. Tualatin Valley Highway runs through the heart of Aloha's commercial district. Strip malls, standalone restaurants, grocery stores, auto dealers, and service businesses line both sides of the highway. Lots here range from 20 to 200 spaces and face unique challenges — high-speed traffic on TV Highway makes entrance and exit visibility critical, and the volume of turning movements creates heavy wear on entrance lane markings.
SW 185th Avenue. This major north-south corridor intersects TV Highway and features shopping centers, fast food restaurants, gas stations, and retail. Properties at the 185th and TV Highway intersection have some of the highest-traffic lots in Aloha, requiring durable markings and frequent maintenance.
SW Alexander Street and surrounding areas. Neighborhood-serving businesses including laundromats, convenience stores, ethnic restaurants, and small retail occupy properties with smaller lots (10-40 spaces). These lots often lack professional striping entirely and need ground-up layout design.
Industrial and warehouse properties. Aloha's proximity to Highway 26 and major logistics routes means the area includes warehouses, distribution centers, and light industrial facilities with employee and visitor parking needs.
Comprehensive Striping for Aloha Properties
Cojo Excavation & Asphalt provides full-scope striping for Aloha's commercial and industrial properties:
Stall layouts and markings. Optimized configurations for each lot's size, shape, and traffic patterns. For TV Highway lots with multiple tenant spaces, we create clear zone separations and shared parking designations.
ADA-compliant accessible parking. Full-specification spaces with proper dimensions (8' stalls, 5' access aisles; 8' aisles for van-accessible), pavement symbols, signage, and slope verification. Every commercial lot serving the public must comply — there are no exemptions based on property age or size.
High-visibility entrance and exit markings. For lots on TV Highway where vehicles enter and exit at speed, we use enhanced-visibility markings — wider lines, reflective paint, and clear directional arrows that drivers can read quickly.
Fire lane and zone designations. Red curb for fire lanes per Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue requirements, yellow for loading, white for passenger zones.
Traffic flow and safety markings. Directional arrows, stop bars, yield lines, speed bump markings, and lane delineation for lots with drive-through restaurants or multi-tenant access.
Pedestrian safety. Crosswalks connecting parking to building entrances and sidewalks. TV Highway's heavy traffic makes pedestrian safety in adjacent lots a high priority.
ADA Compliance for Aloha Properties
Aloha's mix of older and newer commercial properties creates a range of ADA compliance situations:
Older TV Highway properties: Many were built before modern ADA standards and have never had accessible parking properly designed. These need complete ADA layout installation — not just repainting faded markings, but properly sizing and locating spaces.
Strip malls and multi-tenant lots: ADA requirements are based on total lot capacity, not individual tenant space. A shared lot with 60 total spaces needs 3 accessible spaces regardless of how many businesses share the lot.
Recently built properties: Generally compliant at construction but may have developed issues from pavement settling, access aisle encroachment, or faded markings.
Federal ADA violations carry fines starting at $75,000. Oregon enforcement adds additional exposure. See our complete guide to parking lot striping and parking lot striping regulations in Oregon for comprehensive requirements.
Sealcoating and Striping Together
Aloha lots — especially those on TV Highway taking heavy traffic — benefit from sealcoating before striping. A sealcoating and striping package extends pavement life and provides clean, uniform surfaces for fresh markings.
Sealcoat first, cure, then stripe. Details in our parking lot striping after sealcoat guide. See sealcoating in Aloha for local pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle striping on busy TV Highway lots?
We typically work during off-peak hours — early mornings, late evenings, or weekends — to minimize impact on customer traffic. For larger lots, we work in sections, keeping portions open while adjacent areas are being striped.Can you stripe a lot that has never had markings before?
Yes. We design complete layouts from scratch including stall placement, ADA spaces, traffic flow, fire lanes, and all required markings. Many older Aloha properties need this ground-up approach.Do you work with multi-tenant property managers?
Absolutely. We coordinate with property management companies on shared lots, ensuring tenant allocations, ADA compliance, and traffic flow work for all businesses in the center.What paint holds up to Aloha's heavy traffic?
For standard lots, traffic-grade waterborne acrylic meets ODOT specifications and lasts 18-24 months. For high-wear areas like TV Highway entrances and drive-through lanes, we recommend thermoplastic markings that can last 3-5 years.How quickly can you schedule a striping project in Aloha?
During peak season (May-October), we typically schedule within 1-3 weeks. We can often accommodate urgent ADA compliance needs on shorter timelines. Off-season work is possible during dry weather windows.Get Your Aloha Lot Striped
