Util.getStreetFromAddress = function(address) {
  // /[,?#\d]* / - Matches the first bits of the street number, enforcing
  //    ending in space.
  // /[,\d]+[a-zA-Z]? / - All street addresses need at least one number, possibly
  //    followed by a unit letter.
  // /[\d]*[a-zA-Z]+(?!\d)/ - Street names can start with numbers, 1st,
  //    etc, but must not contain any letters followed by numbers, as
  //    those are postal codes.
  // ((?:[\d]*[a-zA-Z]+(?!\d) ?)*) - Capture the full street name,
  //    which can start with any numbers (132nd) but cannot contain numbers in
  //    the middle or end, must have at least one letter (excludes US postal
  //    code), and possibly repeats with 'St W'.
  return /[,?#\d ]*[,\d]+[a-zA-Z]? ((?:[\d]*[a-zA-Z]+(?!\d) ?)*)/.exec(address)[1].trim();
};
