New York City officials are moving to permanently ban horse-drawn carriages in Central Park following a fatal incident involving a teenager. The proposed measure comes amid long-standing concerns over safety and animal welfare linked to the carriages. Advocates argue the ban would eliminate risks to both riders and horses, while industry representatives have historically opposed restrictions. The decision, if approved, would mark a significant shift in the park’s iconic tourist experience.
