Designated by a decorative arch at its east end, Cherry Alley features an attractive walkway paved with personalized bricks , and two artworks commissioned by The Urbana Free Library Foundation, Slow and Steady, by Todd Frahm, and Ibidem, by Cecelia Allen.
Funding for enhancements and artwork comes from individual contributions; no tax monies are used.
