| Neighborhood | Lincoln Place |
| Origin of name | Continuation of a series of lettered ways begun in the Calhoun Park plan |
This alley was laid out in the Brierley plan of lots in 1902, though that plan did not give it a name. It ran from Miller Avenue (today Kinley Way) to Clifton Avenue (today Lougean Avenue), parallel to and north of Walnut Street (today Lindberg Avenue).[1]
Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1929.[2] The next year, a city ordinance named all of the unnamed alleys in the annexed district; this alley became P Way.[3] The names M Way through Z Way assigned in 1930 continued a series of consecutively lettered alleys in the Calhoun Park plan of 1917, which had B Way (later Oakleaf Way) through L Way.[4]
P Way does not exist today.
