Drive Way was laid out in 1919 in the City Gardens plan[1] and was officially accepted by a Pittsburgh city ordinance later that year.[2]
In a 1944 article in the Pittsburgh Press, Gilbert Love included Drive Way in a list of ways that "in the competition for names . . . have had to take what was left by the larger streets."[3]
