I am not sure how that game mechanic works. I know that the characters mainly stay on roads but if you have two rows of them they will cut across to each one, but only temporarily until it reaches the other road. I see my peeps cutting through yards (and fences) all the time. Personally I wish they would not cut through yards, but go on other surfaces like concrete, and hopefully dirt paths, equally.
Plain old dirt seems like a no brained there...who of us while designing your town thought at one time or another that you could use some dirt or some other kind of ground cover?
It would be awesome it we could place the roads/ground where ever we wanted instead of how we can do it by every five spaces. Like it should move every space instead of every five spaces. Would be able to line up buildings and decorations without it being one annoying space off.
I would be happy with just dirt and that is my main goal. However if EA decides to be crazy generous maybe they can give us the top two or three voted options. Or they could give us dirt and the ability to connect the already existing water and boardwalks to the land to connect streams to the ocean and/or to make docks. The last two additions could already use the existing surfaces but allow for a lot more creativity.
I am sure there is a reason why EA hasn't already done all of this but I can't figure it out.
However, it would be good if EA could address a couple of things.
1) the roads , dirt, cobblestones, pavements etc etc are custom layable rather than in blocks. Many times I've wanted to put pavement under/around buildings but don't like the look of it as you end up with far too much.
2) when re-designing, it would be good to be able to store/move whole sections of the town, rather than have to dismantle/move each individual item. Want to re-do my own town and this is putting me off doing it.

I agree. We don't need cracks, potholes, curved corners, etc, but we really need more landscape variety.
