New York City’s iconic horse-drawn carriages in Central Park are set to be phased out under a newly approved agreement, marking a shift in how the city regulates the long-standing tourist attraction. The deal, finalized after years of debate, aims to address concerns over animal welfare and public safety while offering alternatives for visitors. Operators will receive compensation as the transition takes place, though details on the timeline and enforcement remain under discussion. The move reflects broader discussions about balancing tradition with modern urban policies in major cities.
