Sean MacMullen's comment is here:

Should you need to do more geocoding at some point, I've had relative success using the Chicago street center lines data set to find the coordinates of intersecting streets.

Dataset: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/Street-Center-Lines/6imu-meau WIP API implementation by @kollerbud: https://github.com/smacmullan/chicago-participatory-urbanism/blob/main/chicago_participatory_urbanism/geocoder_api.py

It would be a good idea to update the current location code to use this API.
