Location:

South of Denison Avenue between West 23rd St and West 22nd at the northern boundary of Calgary Playground.

Dedicated as public street:

10 Oct 1938[1]

Background:

Although the reason for naming the street is unknown, the fact that the name is listed in the 1936 Cleveland City Directory, which is two years prior to the official dedication, suggests that it existed as a private street until the owner gave up fee ownership upon which the city took over the care and maintenance of the road.
It's possible that the property south of Calgary Ave. (that portion that now comprises Calgary Playground) may have been lost for non-payment of taxes and as a consequence, the city took over the street.
