connectors

This map is intended to show the network of streets in terms of their relative efficiency as a travel route, with the assumption that more direct routes are superior.

Streets that connect border streets with four or less changes in direction are shown in orange.

With these streets we can begin to see how street patterns, intersections and dead ends combine to provide a network that is more or less practical for traffic movement, especially non-vehicular traffic.

The street networks in more recent subdivisions are more disjointed and provide less practical options than those of historic areas.
