Thanks Lew..and yes..you read correctly, 2 people died. I have a friend who is a medical professional and is currently treating the wife who mis-carried her child during the accident and her husband died from his tree-crash injuries.
If people were in the cars on Walnut Street when the trees fell they would have sustained injuries and may have been killed.

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.
