Comment:

 Regina,

 These name transformation between full word vs abbreviation should be
 handled in a lexicon that is then used classify and standardize the
 various tokens of the street name. Then these can be fixed by adding more
 entries to the lexicon and not with code changes.

 The PAGC tools have both a lexicon for classifying and standardizing
 street name components and a gazeteer for doing the same to city and state
 components. There is also a lexicon.csv and gazeteer.csv in that PAGC svn.
