Zipp Way
From Pittsburgh Streets

| Neighborhood | Hays |
| Fate | Vacated in 1975 |
This former alley was located on the hilltop east of Wheeling Street.[1] It was laid out in 1899 in an amended plan of lots on Ithamar D. Risher's farm No. 3, though that plan did not give it a name.[2]
Hays Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1929.[3] A Pittsburgh city ordinance later that year named the unnamed streets and alleys in the annexed district; this alley was named Zipp Way.[4][5]
Zipp Way was vacated in 1975.[6]
