[MassHistPres] Brick paving

[Joey Glushko]

Our community is looking to improve and remediate some distressed areas 
which have brick paving; it is in the area of a National Register Historic 
District, so we would like to keep the brick, if we can, but still be able 
to respond to the concerns of individuals who point out the hazards offered 
by the uneven surfaces of old brick walkways.  Can anyone provide 
direction/suggestion to finding information for brick paving standards and 
specifications for historic areas?  Technical references would help, as well 
as images of where brick pavements have been successfully maintained as a 
good walkable surface.

Where listpeople have experienced satisfactory replacement of old brick 
walkways with other materials, we'd like to hear what alternatives were 
used;  we'd like to find an alternative which can give the "look" of brick, 
if we cannot find a way to to satisfactorily restore the brick surface.  

Your help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
