The Sharp Leadenhall Streetscape is bounded by W. Cross Street, W. Ostend Street, Leadenhall Street, and Race Street located in the South Baltimore neighborhood of Sharp Leadenhall.  This project will improve pedestrian safety and mobility and provide streetscape improvements to assist the retention and attraction of residents and commercial businesses within the area.  This project is adjacent to the current and future Stadium Square development.  Improvements within this specific project include:
