The Problem

The horse carriages that provide tours in and around Central Park are expensive, unsanitary and dangerous to residents and visitors alike. From congesting and damaging our streets to affecting public health and subjecting the horses to inhumane conditions, the horse carriage industry is a blight on our City. And in these tough financial times, our City government cannot afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in taxpayers’ money to support the horse carriages, repair city streets ruined by carriage wheels and monitor the horses for diseases.

Plan of Action

The members of the club will collect the handwritten letters which our school's ( Brooklyn Studio ) students will write. The letters will mention the passing of Intro. 86 (which will phase out horse carriages in our city) and the importance of this issue to each one of us.
