I like to confirm street names by checking for POIs along the street. There's a Great Clips hair salon near there with the following address (see http://www.greatclips.com/ ):
906 E 900 S Salt Lake City, UT 84105 I would put the following addr:* tags on that business: addr:housenumber=906 addr:street=East 900 South addr:city=Salt Lake City addr:state=UT addr:postcode=84105 I may not fully understand the nuances of Salt Lake City addresses, but generally I like to make whatever is in addr:street match what goes in name on the road itself. In this case, I would use: name=East 900 South alt_name=Harvey Milk Boulevard Looking a little to the west of there, there's a Pier 1 Imports ( http://www.pier1.com/ ): 30 West 900 South Salt Lake City, UT 84101-2930 addr:housenumber=30 addr:street=West 900 South addr:city=Salt Lake City addr:state=UT addr:postcode=84101 By that point the road should change to: name=West 900 South alt_name=Harvey Milk Boulevard I generally avoid using the "_1" suffix whenever possible.
