... Former Lee Circle site: Landrieu said that before his administration ends on May 7, the city will perform beautification work at the site of the former Lee Circle statue and will leave the column intact.

Jefferson Davis former site: An American flag will be placed at that site.

Former P.G.T. Beauregard site: City Park Improvement Association will remove the pedestal and perform beautification work ...

"The removal of the monuments took much longer and was harder than ever anticipated. Following the removal, the city needed a moment to pause and reflect. The process to relocate the four removed monuments should not be rushed. Therefore, we trust that the next administration and City Council will have the appropriate time to begin and finish such a sensitive process."
