Description
MD 2 is a commercial area that is partially named after the Foreign Tradezone (FTZ) #18; this FTZ is represented by the large stamped concrete blocks located in the median island of Lundy Avenue near McKay Drive and the South West corner of Lundy Avenue and Tradezone Blvd. The landscape features maintained by this MD are all located within three sections of the commercial district:
• Section 1 – The median islands on Trade Zone Boulevard, Lundy Avenue and Concourse Drive. There are flagpoles in the median on Concourse that are also maintained as a part of this landscape and they bear flags representing both the city and state. These flags are replaced one to two times a year by our department.
• Section 2 – Two mini-parks on the northeast and southeast corners of Lundy and Concourse. These mini-parks consist of turf, trees, shrubs, groundcover, hardscape and benches and ultimately provide a lunchtime respite from the indoor work environment.
• Section 3 – Frontage landscapes on Ringwood Avenue & Trade Zone Boulevard. They consist of turf, trees, shrubs, non- planted areas and groundcover.
Tree Services
Many large Shumardi oak (Quercus shumardii) trees provide shade for the Lundy corridor. Purple leafed plum (Prunus cerasifera), Canary Island pine (Pinus canariensis), Yarwood sycamore (Platanus acerifolia ‘Yarwood’) and Raywood Ash (Fraxinus angustifolia oxicarpa ‘Raywood’) are also planted throughout the district. Tree management services are provided for trees in the public areas described above, but do not include the street trees outside of these boundaries. Services include:
• Pruning, planting and removal/replacement
• Fertilization
• Monitoring
• Pest control using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques
