Morphology

streeter = street (semi-transparent) = street + er

The form is regular, but the sense of a person especially associated with a particular street or neighborhood is a more lexicalized extension.

Etymology

Streeter is formed from street and the ending -er ('one who'), and it often means someone who lives on or is closely linked to a particular street. That's why a streeter can mean a local neighbor or resident of that road.
