Vega Way
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Vega Way | |

| Neighborhood | Hazelwood |
This alley, labeled just "Al.," appears in the 1898 Hopkins atlas.[1] The 1904 edition labels it Vega Alley.[2] It became Vega Way in 1914 when an ordinance changed all alleys in the city to ways.[3]
Bob Regan includes "Vega" in a list of astronomy-related street names.[4]
