Wasatch Commons was required to have a 20-ft wide access "road" between the buildings, able to support an emergency vehicle. A layer of roadbase is covered by a five-ft concrete sidewalk and either brick paving or grass pavers such as Patty describes. I have described the grass pavers at some length previously; see the archives. (Despite the name, much of ours have groundcover rather than grass.) Two of us researching the grass pavers visited a fire station and talked to the chief, who had never heard of them before. I don't know if the site plans were actually inspected by somebody knowledgable about fire trucks. It would require some impressive driving to make it around the curves of the path without ripping off any porch roofs.
