As noted by other comments here, this is quite a lightweight article. Not that the residents don't have a valid complaint, but the solution is really quite simple.<p>I have direct experience with something like this myself. My Grandfather homesteaded in Montana in 1911, and the land remains in the family to this day. My Aunt Elsie, who was a force to be reckoned with, had the name of the road changed successfully. So their address had the family name. I noticed that Google did not have the name, so i simply clicked on the button at the bottom that says "send feedback". I noted the post office had that as the name and one other reference. I got mail back months later refusing to change the notation. I sent the request again perhaps a year later, and this time they did change it. It is there today.<p>While I understand the communities distress, it appears from the story that nobody attempted to contact Google.<p>And you don't have to be a city official to do so.
