Well that sounds cool; what about those of us who live in conservative hellscapes? I'm pretty sure 'road maintenance' is a sin here

Real talk, you'll have a hell of a time arguing for the upgrades, but even so, I only suggest switching to bricks when the road needs to be resurfaced anyway. The road works well enough as-is, this is just an improvement.
