While Chapaevsk and Lysva both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, Kherli built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved in new street additions. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Kherli and Chapaevsk have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
