Bixby Way, running from Tabor Street to Hollydale Way east of and parallel to Oregon Street, was laid out in 1925 in a plan of lots by Rev. John M. Woshner.[1] This name was officially established by a city ordinance later that year.[2]
As far as I can tell, this alley was never renamed, so it is still officially Bixby Way. However, it is a direct continuation of Poplar Way on the other side of Tabor Street, and street signs appear to label both alleys Poplar Way.
