A proposal to prohibit horse-drawn carriages in Central Park will be considered by the City Council, marking a potential shift in how the iconic urban green space accommodates traditional tourist attractions. Advocates argue the practice poses risks to both animals and riders, while supporters highlight its cultural and historical significance. The vote could set a precedent for similar restrictions in other major parks nationwide. The decision follows growing public debate over animal welfare and modern alternatives for visitors.
