Central Park Carriages Under Fire | New York City News
Description
City Council Speaker Julie Menin has officially endorsed Romanch’s Law, a historic move to phase out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park following the tragic death of 18-year-old tourist Romanch Mahajan. Spearheaded by Councilmember Christopher Marte, the bill aims to prevent future tragedies while protecting workers and horses, with public support growing as a recent poll shows most New Yorkers favor the ban. However, carriage drivers’ union opposes an outright ban, calling for stricter regulations instead to ensure safety and preserve livelihoods.
