Geocoder - improve street intersection processing #18

Most of the ward spending address data is in the format "N Streetname Ave & W Otherstreetname Ave & N Western Ave & W Belmont Ave". We represent these as a polygon by finding the intersection of the street centerlines, but sometimes two north/south streets intersect way off in the distance and it produces strange results.
