In new street additions, Pingsha fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Shorapur built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns and Sengkang built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. For the full network, Pingsha fluctuated in connectivity, while Shorapur became more connected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then grew more sprawly from 1991-2005 onwards and Sengkang became progressively more disconnected. Pingsha and Sengkang have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
