In new street additions, Cagayan de Oro built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Mianyang fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Bakhtiyarpur built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Cagayan de Oro and Bakhtiyarpur have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
