context_page_description: King Street, or Waterloo Regional Road 15, is the major northwest-southeast arterial road in Kitchener, Ontario, as well as Waterloo, Ontario, where it runs north-south. In Waterloo, King Street divides the city into east and west sides, and in Kitchener, it divides the city into north and south sides. At the Conestoga Parkway, in southern Kitchener, King Street becomes the Highway 8 Expressway. King Street "resumes" about four kilometres to the east, where Weber Street is renamed to King Street and then continues to Cambridge, Ontario.
context_section_description: Upon crossing into Waterloo, King Street turns northeastward and continues until it exits the city into Woolwich Township. As in Kitchener, King Street crosses Weber Street in Waterloo (it intersects a third time at the north end of Weber Street) and also has an interchange with the Conestoga Parkway, which is now designated as Highway 85.
  A major difference between King Street in Kitchener and in Waterloo, however, is that the street, upon entering Waterloo, is labelled north-south (the dividing line being Erb Street) instead of east-west as in Kitchener, like for all other major north-south thoroughfares in Waterloo.
  King Street is the main thoroughfare in Downtown Kitchener but also Uptown Waterloo (the central district of Waterloo). Shops and pubs line the street roughly from the border with Kitchener until Bridgeport Road. Also, two major shopping malls are situated on King Street: Waterloo Town Square in Uptown Waterloo and Conestoga Mall at the junction with Highway 85 (both are currently in the midst of major redevelopment projects).
