Cross Streets Calculation

Question

How can I get the cross street names of one particular street?

Lets say I am on a street name B and I want to get two street either side of street B. I also have co-ordinates for the street B.

I think this can be achieved using calculation over co-ordinates. How?

If B street has Lon: 40.4325342 and Lat: -72.5346344, can I get the nearest street of one side of street B by making arithmetic operations to Lon and Lat?

You can use Googles Reverse Geocoding API to get the next street to given coordinates:

This however would be a client side solution with JavaScript.
