Murray Hill and South Beaverton: Suburban Commercial Centers Need Quality Striping
Murray Hill and South Beaverton anchor a significant portion of Washington County's suburban commercial infrastructure. The SW Murray Boulevard corridor, the Allen Boulevard commercial zone, SW Scholls Ferry Road, and the Progress Ridge area serve a large residential population with grocery stores, retail centers, restaurants, medical offices, fitness facilities, and professional services. These are established communities where property maintenance standards are high and commercial competition is real.
For property owners and managers in Murray Hill and South Beaverton, professional parking lot striping is a non-negotiable part of property upkeep. Faded lines and missing ADA markings not only create legal exposure — they actively lose customers in an area where competitors' lots are usually well-maintained.
Murray Hill and South Beaverton Commercial Areas
SW Murray Boulevard. Murray is one of Beaverton's busiest commercial corridors, running north-south through Murray Hill. Grocery stores, banks, strip malls, restaurants, fitness centers, and professional offices line both sides. Lots range from 20 to 200 spaces. Heavy daily traffic creates significant wear on entrance markings, directional arrows, and stop bars.
Allen Boulevard corridor. Connecting Murray to downtown Beaverton, Allen Boulevard features strip retail, auto services, medical offices, and restaurants. Properties here include both newer development and older buildings with lots that need layout updates and ADA corrections.
SW Scholls Ferry Road. This major east-west corridor in South Beaverton includes shopping centers, professional offices, and service businesses with mid-size to large lots. Scholls Ferry's traffic volumes make entrance and exit visibility critical.
Progress Ridge area. The Progress Ridge Town Square and surrounding commercial development features newer retail, restaurants, and professional offices with lots designed to current standards. These properties need regular restriping to maintain the fresh appearance their location demands.
SW Hall Boulevard. The eastern edge of the service area includes commercial properties along Hall Boulevard with grocery stores, restaurants, and retail. Properties here vary from newer construction to 1970s-era strip malls.
Professional Striping for Murray Hill and South Beaverton
Cojo Excavation & Asphalt delivers comprehensive striping for the area's suburban commercial properties:
Stall layouts and markings. Standard 9' x 18' stalls, compact designations, and optimized configurations for each lot. For larger retail centers, we include cart corrals, curbside pickup zones, and section markers for customer wayfinding.
ADA-compliant accessible parking. Full-specification spaces with proper dimensions, access aisles, pavement symbols, signage, and slope verification. Medical facilities along Murray and Allen may need additional accessible spaces based on patient services.
Traffic flow management. Directional arrows, stop bars, yield markings, speed bump striping, and one-way designations. For lots on Murray and Scholls Ferry with high turning volumes, well-designed internal flow prevents accidents and congestion.
Fire lane and zone markings. Red curb for fire lanes per Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue standards, yellow for commercial loading, white for passenger zones.
Pedestrian crosswalks. Interior lot crossings connecting parking to building entrances. Larger suburban lots create longer walking distances, making pedestrian path markings both a safety feature and a customer convenience.
Specialty markings. EV charging stations, motorcycle parking, cart return areas, and reserved space stenciling.
ADA Compliance Across the Service Area
Murray Hill and South Beaverton's property stock ranges from the 1970s to current construction:
Older strip malls and retail. Properties built before modern ADA standards frequently have undersized accessible spaces, missing access aisles, or non-compliant signage. Restriping is the most cost-effective opportunity to bring these lots into full compliance.
Medical and dental offices. Healthcare facilities may need accessible space counts beyond standard ADA minimums based on patient volume and care type. We assess each property individually and design accordingly.
Newer developments (Progress Ridge, etc.). Generally well-designed at construction but subject to marking degradation, access aisle encroachment, and seasonal signage damage over time.
Multi-tenant retail centers. ADA requirements are based on total lot capacity, not individual tenant space. A shared lot with 100 spaces needs 5 accessible spaces regardless of how many businesses use the lot.
Federal ADA fines start at $75,000 for first violations. See our complete guide to parking lot striping and parking lot striping regulations in Oregon.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle large retail center lots on Murray Boulevard?
We work in phases, striping one zone at a time while keeping the rest of the lot accessible. Most large lot projects are scheduled during overnight or early morning hours. We coordinate with property management to minimize disruption to tenants and customers.Can you update my lot layout to add more spaces?
Yes. Many older Murray Hill and South Beaverton lots waste space with inefficient layouts. We can redesign stall configurations, add compact designations, and optimize traffic flow during restriping. Layout changes may require city review depending on scope.How long does striping last on busy suburban lots?
Standard traffic-grade paint lasts 18 to 24 months under typical conditions. Heavy-traffic entrances, exits, and drive lanes may need touch-ups sooner. We offer thermoplastic markings for high-wear areas that last 3 to 5 years.Do you work with property management companies?
Absolutely. We work with several property management firms across Washington County on recurring striping maintenance for commercial portfolios. We offer multi-property pricing and coordinated scheduling.What is the best time to schedule Murray Hill lot striping?
May through October for reliable dry conditions. For retail properties, we recommend spring or early fall to avoid peak summer tourism and holiday shopping seasons. We need dry pavement and temperatures above 50°F for proper paint adhesion.Get Your Murray Hill or South Beaverton Lot Striped
