L Way was laid out in the Calhoun Park plan of lots in 1917, running from Oakdale Avenue (today Oakleaf Drive) across Lexington Avenue (today Delehanty Street) to Main Street (today Interboro Avenue); it probably continued in a straight line past Woodrow Avenue (today Leaside Drive) to K Way.[1] It was the last in a series of consecutively lettered alleys in that plan, starting with B Way (later Oakleaf Way).

L Way no longer exists.
