Jan 2021. Here was the official announcement: https://dgs.virginia.gov/globalassets/business-units/do/documents/newsroom/dgs-to-install-fence-around-lee-monument-to-prepare-site-for-statue-removal.pdf
> The Department of General Services today will install fencing around the Lee Monument grounds to ensure the safety of visitors and workers as part of DGS’s plan to prepare the site for the removal of the Lee statue. As we await the resolution of legal challenges that have delayed the statue’s removal, DGS wants to be prepared to act quickly upon a final determination. The fencing is not intended to be permanent.
So ya it's there so they can act quickly to take down the statue...

Biking between roughly museum district and church hill areas is very easy. Living in southside with just a bike may be a bummer as their aren't many grocery stores, but just check out specific locations on google maps.
I haven't had a car for 6 years or so. Only have sporadic experience taking buses here.
