In new street additions, Ekerö built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Siniloan fluctuated in its street-construction patterns and Brakpan built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Ekerö and Siniloan have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
