Elite Way runs south from Roseton Avenue, between and parallel to Institute Street and Fordyce Street. It was laid out in 1900 in the Bon-Air plan, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It is not mentioned in a 1909 Pittsburgh city ordinance that established the names of streets and alleys in the former West Liberty Borough,[2] nor is it listed in another ordinance the following year that established the names of all thoroughfares in the city.[3]
A street sign at its intersection with Roseton Avenue says that it is named Elite Way. It had this name by 1959, when a petition was made to City Council for "the grading and improving of Elite Way from Roseton Street to Calle Street, 18th Ward."[4]
