"The access point with the least amount of disturbance is where the posted tree currently resides," the Parks & Trees Division told Patch in an email. "New landscaping and a new tree will be part of the post installation work."
Greenwich Tree Warden Dr. Gregory Kramer noted there will also be a new retaining wall installed, close to where the tree currently stands.
