Ashland Cherryland Community Identifier Mural

The Community Identifier Projects are in three locations: Ashland/Cherryland, Castro Valley, and San Lorenzo. The overall goal of the projects is to create community gateway markers that help support a positive and welcoming environment for both the community and visitors. These projects are managed by the Alameda County Arts Commission in partnership with the community and many project partners.

Artist Nico Berry painted the Ashland/Cherryland Community Identifier Project on both sides of the I-238 Highway overpass above East 14th Street / Mission Blvd. Nico Berry’s design includes the word “Ashland” with vibrant images of leaves from the Oregon ash tree on one side of the overpass and the word “Cherryland” with colorful images of cherry blossoms on the opposite side.
