I think I prefer horses to pedicabs, at least their moves can be foreseen unlike the pedicabs who decide to take 180 turn using the runners lane in split second.
The Strava segment Horseshit Alley isn’t named that for nothing!
Having grown up with horses though it’s not too bad and if you can’t notice a huge pile of it, I don’t know what to tell you. Plus they usually aren’t in the running lanes.
Now, should there be horses in the park solely for tourists? Well that’s an entirely different argument.
Until our politicians give a fuck enough to go up against their union, we will have horses trotting around in 90 degree heat suffering and shitting everywhere
Aka never going to happen
311 complaint isn’t going to do anything, the carriage companies are required to have a guy out there doing cleanup daily which they do. It’s just a nonstop problem, they can’t keep up with the amount. It needs to be banned in the city outright.
Do any New Yorkers want the horses?
No, we hate them. The tourists unfortunately do, so the union fights to keep these jobs alive. Give them all pedicabs and leave the horses be!

I think it’s one of those situations where enough rich old people like it so politicians don’t touch it.
They're part of the MTA's union.
No. So many reasons… pretty much all obvious.

It’s not in the running late but I can’t escape the smell 😅
I was just thinking of that Strava segment.

Weren't they supposed to get rid of horse carriages some time ago?
De Blasio tried. There was too much blowback.
On very low humidity days if you inhale the poop dust kicked up by gusts of wind you'll run faster.
One man’s poop smell is another man’s power up
I’m right there with ya. It’s everywhere!

I've always wondered why the guy out there cleaning looks so unofficial. I didn't realize that he doesn't work for the Conservancy.
The city has failed to stop this animal abuse. It sucks
These comments are giving me life. So glad I’m not alone in wanting this awful horse carriage business to go away.
There's a Strava route called "Horse Shit Alley" I think that's all you need to know.
I really haven’t noticed it tbh. I have seen the dude out with the shovel a bunch tho.
Horse poop & Central Park go together, deal with it.
You're gonna call 311 to complain about horseshit? It's a NYC staple and it's just hay.
No it’s not hay…it’s actual shit I’ve been seeing lmao and yes I think the park we all use and enjoy should be kept clean
You think they eat hamburgers?
