Downtown outdoor spaces

But really I should use Kitchener directions when talking about Kitchener. Northbound traffic can use Benton/Frederick. Speaking of which, does anybody know why those streets have two separate names?

They used to be like Queen at King - not an exact straight connection - but it was even more skewed. It was easy to give them different names.

In the 70s the whole area was rebuilt, and the connection was straightened.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. And actually now that I look at the map in light of that, it’s easy to see the slight adjustments made to the roads to make them match up. Now if we could just narrow Benton back to two lanes (plus turn lanes). I think there is a lot of wasted asphalt there…
