Nye Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Nye Way | |

| Neighborhood | Elliott |
Nye Way formerly ran from Adel Way to Mertz Street, west of and parallel to Hilton Street.[1][2] It was laid out in 1885 in a plan of lots for Thomas P. Hershberger, though that plan did not give it a name.[3]
Elliott Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh on January 2, 1905.[4] That May, a city ordinance named or renamed many of the streets and alleys in the former borough, and this unnamed alley was named Nye Way.[5] The name was confirmed by another ordinance in 1910 that officially established the names of all thoroughfares in Pittsburgh.[6]
Nye Way does not exist today, though it does not appear to have ever been formally vacated.
