To be honest, and somewhat late to the discussion, I would keep the D80 and pop a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 on it (or similar). Very cheap upgrade and allows lower light shooting without upping the ISO (a problem on the D80 compared to newer bodies). For street, then something light and compact is always better and given that this has a 1.5x crop sensor and street is normally a fairly confined space, I don't see the need to get anything longer. Faster and sharper would be my way to go.

If wanted to upgrade the body, then don't write off some of the slightly older bodies such as the excellent D300s which can easily be purchased for very little money at all, and would still provide an upgrade and better production at the higher ISO's than the D80.
