In new street additions, Vyara built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Delicias fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Song County built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Vyara and Delicias have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
