New York City Council is set to vote next week on a proposed ban on horse-drawn carriages, a measure anticipated to receive backing from a local advocacy group. The decision follows ongoing debates over animal welfare and public safety concerns tied to the traditional tourist attraction. Supporters argue the practice is outdated and poses risks to both horses and pedestrians, while opponents highlight its cultural and economic significance. The vote could mark a turning point in the city’s approach to longstanding traditions amid growing calls for reform.
