The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

President Trump sort of inadvertently made an argument for banning horse carriages from Central Park on Thursday when he critiicized the City Council’s 40-7-2 vote to end the Central Park horse carriage industry with an ill-conceived analogy to cars.
The city’s much-anticipated program to require speed-limiting devices inside the cars of repeatedly reckless drivers will launch next year, though questions remain.
