When a new shopping center opens in Fort Wayne, IN, first impressions matter—and that starts in the parking lot. Recently, Asphalt Care Inc. was subcontracted to perform layout and striping for a brand-new multi-tenant retail space near Coldwater Road and Dupont Road.
With multiple storefronts preparing to open, the property needed crisp, functional striping to handle heavy foot and vehicle traffic from day one.
The Challenge: Professional Layout and Striping for New Fort Wayne Retail Development
This retail space, located just minutes from Parkview Regional Medical Center and surrounded by booming neighborhoods like Pine Valley and La Cabreah, is poised to attract shoppers from across northeast Fort Wayne.
With several retail units set to open simultaneously, the developers knew the parking lot had to be safe, clearly organized, and compliant with ADA regulations before any tenants could welcome customers.
Asphalt Care Inc. was brought in for our expertise in commercial line striping and signage installation. Our goal: deliver a clean, professional layout that maximized parking efficiency, ensured safe traffic flow, and met all state and federal accessibility requirements.
How We Approach Commercial Parking Lot Striping in Fort Wayne
When working on busy retail properties like this one, attention to detail is key. Our Fort Wayne-based crew followed a streamlined process to ensure both accuracy and efficiency:
Site Assessment & Planning
We reviewed the site plans and traffic patterns with the construction team to determine optimal space configuration. This included positioning of parking stalls, entrance and exit flow, and dedicated ADA spaces.
Precision Layout
Using laser-guided equipment, we laid out each space and traffic marking with exact measurements. For retail lots, spacing and stall alignment are critical for maximizing capacity without cramping traffic lanes.
High-Visibility Striping
We applied durable, high-contrast striping using long-lasting traffic paint designed to hold up against Indiana’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and the heavy snow removal.
ADA Signage Installation
Beyond just paint, our crew also installed ADA-compliant signage, ensuring every accessible space met legal requirements in both placement and visibility that are crucial for passing final inspections.
Transforming the Space: Before and After
Before our team arrived, the lot was just a bare slab of asphalt. But within a single day, the space was completely transformed into a functional, safe, and professional-looking parking area ready for retail traffic. We gave the property a polished, welcoming appearance.
The shopping center’s general contractor was thrilled with the results. He agreed that everything is clearly marked and ready for tenants to move in. With our help, the development stayed on schedule and passed inspection without issue, the similar satisfactory outcome to our past projects.
