NEW YORK – New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are closer to striking a deal to ban the horse carriage industry from the city.<\/p>\n

\"\" Mamdani, Menin close to reaching deal on horse carriages <\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

A City Hall spokesperson sent the following statement to FOX 5 NY’s political reporter Morgan McKay:<\/p>\n

“We have been working closely with the City Council, union partners, carriage drivers, animal welfare advocates and community leaders to deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.”<\/p>\n

\"Teen \"Teen Push to ban horse carriages in the past <\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

The push to ban horse carriages from the city has been building over the past several years, with former Mayor Eric Adams publicly throwing his support<\/a> behind a potential ban.<\/p>\n

One carriage horse collapsed<\/a> in Hell’s Kitchen in August 2025, though a necropsy performed later on showed that the 15-year-old horse had a small tumor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, another carriage horse collapsed and died in Central Park<\/a>, with the cause being ingestion of a toxic shrub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In that same month, a teenager was killed<\/a> after falling from a horse-drawn carriage that crashed in Central Park \u2013 this crash, in particular, contributed to the reigniting of the debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n
