Goals of Regulation The regulation provides a framework for the use of the Robert E. Lee Monument in a way that serves to protect public safety while also protecting constitutional rights. The Monument is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. It is located in a traffic rotary with no crosswalk for entry, on a major thoroughfare and residential area in downtown Richmond. While not a traditional public forum, the Department of General Services has allowed and permitted events at the Monument in the past and will continue to do so under this regulation.
