I would suggest creating a buffer around each polygon the would put your blocks in the middle of the street. MI should be able to do that. Only thing you have to worry about is if some streets are wider than others.

If I do the "object/set target/combine" operation offer by mapinfo I end up with one polygon that is formed by the block polygons with nothing in the empty space between the block. Any ideas on how to do this as automatically as possible?. Yes I do have a field in the block table that stores the neighborhood attribute for performing the select.
