Alexa often unable to accept street names with one letter, such as A St, B St, etc. #99

Related to #50, Alexa is not currently able to handle the two letter street names that I checked, A Street and B Street. At best, by elongating pronunciation of A Street, Alexa thinks I said "a Street" and cannot find the address. Elongating the pronunciation of B Street, Alexa thinks I said the abbreviation "B. Street" and provides incorrect information for the particular address at "B Street". try: 50 B Street, Alexa thinks T & R picked up Monday, but it is picked up on Friday. 110 P Street was identified correctly but the trash day was incorrect, Mon and Fri.

Suggest that we be able to tell Alexa "Letter A Street" or something like that.
