In the 21st century, new malls have included the Tolón Mall. In 2006 the Baruta mayor began remodeling the
Plaza Alfredo Sadel and an upgrade to the Las Mercedes drainage. There are plans for a future expansion of line 4 of the
Caracas Metro which is intended to connect the district with two stations,
Las Mercedes and
Tamanaco, with
Plaza Venezuela and
Parque del Este of line 1. This expansion will help reduce traffic jams. ==See also==
