It is Lonicera involucrata ssp. involucrata. A US native that seemed
to grab the utility landscapers' attention for a while. Not the most
spectacular of the shrubby honeysuckles, but pleasant enough viewed
close-to.

Thanks.

Now that I know what it is I see the family resemblance (to xylosteum,
nitida and pileata).
