In new street additions, Jarud and Feodosia both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Limbé built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Jarud and Feodosia both became progressively more disconnected, while Limbé became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards. Notably, Jarud had a more connected network than Feodosia in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
