The New York City Council is expected to approve legislation banning the horse-drawn carriage industry in Central Park, ending a tradition that dates to the 1860s. The bill, supported by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin, includes provisions for job training, compensation for drivers and owners, and horse welfare, with no new licenses issued after June 2028. The industry faces opposition from advocates and protests, even after a deadly incident involving a tourist and a runaway horse, and efforts continue to oppose the ban.
