The way I read it, Sharrieff Ali knows someone whose husband and unborn
child died in a car that a tree fell on.
The tree(s?) that fell last week could have hurt or killed someone, and
it was just luck that we're not discussing a memorial service instead of
wondering what the reg.s are for pavement work.
It sure would be useful (and surprising) if the City had a building
code for pavement that requires minimal impact to existing trees (root and
branch dismemberment) and sets a standard for minimum surface area around
trees that must be permeable.
Thanks for checking with L&I about it SA.

"Also, I happen to know of a woman who lost her husband and unborn child
due
to a tree falling on the car her family was riding in, she was seriously
injured but lived. Not a happy picture. It was just lucky the trees didn't
kill anyone."
So WAS someone killed or was someone NOT killed? You might want to
clarify.
Husband and an unborn child sounds like someone was killed to me.
