| Lansing Street (until 1926) | |
This street was originally named Lansing Street when it was opened in 1926.[1] Four months later, it was renamed Sunrise Avenue to fix the duplication with Lansing Way in Stanton Heights.[2] The name may have been inspired by the street's location in the far eastern part of the city of Pittsburgh. Bob Regan includes "Sunrise" in a list of astronomy-related street names.[3]
