My only issue is that these bricks just don't seem to do well with our freeze/thaw, salt/gravel/snow cycles and quickly look ratty. Just look around Whyte. There must surely be some sort of surface that can withstand our winters! I mean, we can now have an honest-to-goodness conversation with an AI and have photos of far ranging galaxies, but we can't figure this out???
 
I didn't see them construct it but my guess is there's a good sand base or concrete. They shouldn't move. The bricks break down and have to be replaced over time but that's just maintenance. The bricks on 104 Street have never moved, and these are not where people walk most of the time. It's a risk but should be okay. Just don't use small red bricks in high traffic locations.

Yes, like anything they require attention and maintenance, concrete can crack and heave too in our climate. The bricks add character, especially in the older areas.

The strip here is nice and I feel well thought out as it is not in the area where people will walk more.
