The Municipality of Santo Domingo ordered that the market that had operated at the western end of the Mirador del Sur-Cayetano Germosen parks/Avenida Luperon be relocated provisionally to in front of the Municipality in the Centro de los Heroes government offices building complex. The move was made after requests from the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Environment. The market was affecting the park area. And the opening of the ramps and overpasses of Luperon and Independencia avenues, also made urgent the move of the market. News reports say it is likely the market will be eventually relocated to a site on the Malecón at the Feria Ganadera.
