anyways, I looked up SF and I found this under the Wikipedia page for Filbert Street, detailing some high gradient streets in SF and elsewhere

An unofficial survey of San Francisco streets declared the steepest street in San Francisco to be a 30-foot section of Bradford Street,[5] paved in 2010, with a 40% grade.

So, that could have Canton Ave. beat. What gets me is how there seems to be some mystery behind this stuff, as if you couldnt send out a survey team and have accurate results in a few days or less. because that same wikipedia article says

Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh is said to have a 37% grade; the length of that grade is unknown.

It's 2.4 meters long, or 2.5, everywhere I've read, including the actual wikipedia page for Canton Ave.
