Streets
Streets in Duluth's downtown area features dramatic upward slopes, a feature common to many of Duluth's neighborhoods due to 800 feet (240 m) elevation difference between the shore and the hilltop.
As a part of a beautification project during Duluth's economic crisis of the 1980s, several blacktop streets were converted to brick. Along with this change came the introduction of "old-fashioned" ornamental streetlamps.
