Check Out The Castro Valley Boulevard Street Art

The beautification stage of the Streetscape process will give the Boulevard a facelift from Redwood Road to San Miguel.

 

(This video from Alameda County is about the beautification process of the Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape program.)

Castro Valley's natural environment and community will be celebrated in the public art for the Castro Valley Boulevard Streetscape Improvement Project.

The artwork is being created by Miriam Klein Stahl, in collaboration with Pippa Murray Mosaics. The artwork will be installed after the major construction activities on the street are complete.

The artwork will be inset onto 35 seat blocks and 2 gateway markers along Castro Valley Boulevard. Images representing native plants, local landmarks, and community activities will be presented as marble mosaics within granite slabs. Silhouettes of the hills found around Castro Valley will be made in cut stone. 

Were you one of the thousand-plus residents who commented during the selection process or do you have something to add now?

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
