Another Question about Berkeley!

When the tracks were removed upon the termination of our beloved "Dinky" Streetcar the track bed was used by us as a cut through to Ramona Hills. It was just a Cinder road left after the tracks were removed Eventually, the City of Berkeley decided to make it a dedicated roadbed and made it into a paved roadway. There was much consternation as to what was going to be it's new name.  After much wrangling it was named "Middleway".  It later became Hanley Road.

 Does anybody remember why it was named "Middleway"? The first one who comes up with the answer will get a reward at the reunion! Send your answer to joesow@gmail.com.
