Critics argue the compromise, which seeks to reduce the number of carriage horses and relocate them to Central Park with taxpayer-funded stables, was made without proper consultation and constitutes an abuse of power to fulfill a campaign promise. While some, like Council Member Daniel Dromm, view the plan as a humane improvement for the horses, others are concerned about the lack of detailed planning regarding the stables&#8217; location within the park.
