Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Politico reported that Mamdani and council Speaker Julie Menin had reached an agreement for the mayor’s administration to back legislation that would make operating horse-drawn carriages in the city illegal starting in June 2028.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
New York City is moving to ban horse-drawn carriages from Central Park, ending a tradition of more than 150 years following long-standing campaigns by animal welfare groups and the fatal accident of a teenage tourist last spring.
Transport Workers Union International President John Samuelsen said the Council's bill has “no meaningful economic relief for workers” and that Menin “used the tragic death of a tourist to contrive a public safety crisis.”
Animal welfare advocates and critics have campaigned against the industry for decades, contending that horses should not be working among dense traffic, busy park roads, and crowds of spectators.
