NYC Common Sense released the following statement regarding a horse collapsing and passing away in Central Park:
“After the horrific incident on West Drive and 72nd Street, New Yorkers deserve a firm timeline and details about how and when City Hall intends to make good on then-candidate Mamdani’s 2025 promise to abolish horse carriages from Central Park.
“This problem has persisted, and steadily worsened, through multiple mayoralties. This administration is now entering its sixth month and has yet to make any headway on this issue. Clearly, the industry has continued to flourish – and horses have continued to suffer – while the mayor works to ‘figure out a way’ to fulfill his pledge.”
