While Messaad and Koyra both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, Soe built increasingly disconnected streets over time in new street additions. For the full network, Soe became progressively more disconnected, while Messaad grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved and Koyra grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Soe and Koyra have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
