I have done some work with addressing, beyond addresses often being implemented poorly, and not always being posted clearly if at all, this data is not always delineated, two towns in New Jersey could not even provide me with a municipally produced street map of their areas, and those that do often show streets intersecting that have been disconnected, and do not show what parts of which streets are one way and which way they go or illegal left and other turns, and if this data does exist there is little effort to disseminate it for existing or new conditions, the latter of which usually do not make it onto maps until well after initial occupancy. This instance, particularly, appears to be an economic issue and I do not know what the correct price should have been, but I do firmly believe that it is, or at least should be, incumbent upon local governing authorities to publicly declare what has been done for existing conditions and what is to be done for any new development or other changes. If the addressing and other related aspects of this are done well, the information is clearly and comprehensively delineated, and it is widely disseminated, I would like to see it go to a central clearinghouse, six months in advance of initial occupancy for new development and three months in advance of any planned street changes, even construction situations, which would then immediately be forwarded to any and all interested parties, then those that need to know about this would be able to expediently be able to enter accurate and reliable data. If this were done by those who were local to each area at issue who should know it best, the overall costs should be much less and the results would be much better than the current scenario of each entity coming separately from afar and catching what they can.

I thought of this but it escaped me before I clicked the submit button. There also needs to be coordination between adjacent areas because what may be clear within one's domain, especially to those who are very familiar with it, may be far less so to visitors in conjunction with what is around it.
