In new street additions, Santa Ana fluctuated in its street-construction patterns, while Eugene built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved and Madhuban built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full network, Santa Ana and Eugene both became progressively more disconnected, while Madhuban became progressively more connected. Notably, Santa Ana had a more connected network than Eugene in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
