Well you might be able to use info from:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/export
getting the XML data. Unfortunately, you can't select a region other
than rectangular, also you get all sorts of data, including points of
interest (which are nodes, as are intersections). However, there are
data on streets (ways) in there:
<way id="6051300" user="ajturner" uid="3792" visible="true"
version="2" changeset="729331" timestamp="2008-11-10T04:27:09Z">
<nd ref="49716899"/>
<nd ref="49716901"/>
<nd ref="49716904"/>
<tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.10f"/>
<tag k="highway" v="residential"/>
<tag k="name" v="Twining Ct NW"/>
<tag k="tiger:cfcc" v="A41"/>
<tag k="tiger:county" v="District of Columbia, DC"/>
<tag k="tiger:name_base" v="Twining"/>
<tag k="tiger:name_direction_suffix" v="NW"/>
<tag k="tiger:name_type" v="Ct"/>
<tag k="tiger:reviewed" v="no"/>
<tag k="tiger:separated" v="no"/>
<tag k="tiger:source" v="tiger_import_dch_v0.6_20070809"/>
<tag k="tiger:tlid" v="76237254"/>
<tag k="tiger:upload_uuid" v="bulk_upload.pl-0113c5d6-
c16d-484f-906b-0f8ab7b6b04e"/>
</way>
That one shows Twining Ct NW in Washington, DC, USA. This will
obviously depend on the OpenStreetMap coverage. You may need to write
something yourself to check whether any of the nodes listed in each
way ("nd ref=") are inside a polygon defining the city limits. Each
node has lat/lng, and each way is a collection of nodes. I'd probably
use the Google Maps API and load the OpenStreetMap XML for that, but
there would be many ways to do that. Then you'd need to export a
region from OpenStreetMap just large enough for the city of interest.
That might even be possible to automate.
