NY Plans to Ban Central Park Carriages
New York City officials announced that the City Council plans to ban horse-drawn carriages in Central Park by 2028, after more than 150 years of their use as one of the city’s tourism icons. The decision comes following the death of a teenage tourist in the spring, and increasing safety concerns, despite years of opposition from animal rights activists. The bill is expected to be voted on after receiving sufficient support from the City Council, with an agreement on the legislation reached between the Council President and the Mayor, signaling the impending end of the horse-drawn carriage industry in New York.
