Osier Dogwood on Bowthorpe and Loop
Osier Dogwood, red twig dogwood.
Berries in fall.
There are many of these in the medians. 
Red-osier dogwood is a large, 7 to 9 foot, erect shrub. Besides attractive, red stems in the winter, red-osier dogwood has yellowish-white flowers that appear in late May to early June, and bluish-white fruit borne in late summer. Fall color is reddish-purple. The shrubs can be used in front of evergreens that will show off the dark red winter stems.

Paper Bark Maple
Acer griseum, the paperbark maple or blood-bark maple,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceous, native to central China. A handsome tree with an oval to rounded crown, an open habit, and upright branching. Soft green leaves turn scarlet in fall. Becomes distinctive and elegant with age, as its papery sheets of bark peel to reveal cinnamon-brown new bark. An excellent small landscape specimen or woodland understory accent. Deciduous.
