Victoria city council will bow out of the horse-drawn carriage ban debate, meaning any discussions of a phase-out have been discarded.
In council’s quarterly update, councillors considered preparing bylaw amendments to specify a maximum temperature of 28 degrees, banning travel down Oswego and Superior streets, and posting more signage along horse carriage routes.
Ultimately, however, council opted to receive the recommendations and do nothing at this time.
This motion was put forward by Coun. Jeremy Loveday, who succinctly commented “it’s time to move on.”
The motion passed six-to-two with Coun. Ben Isitt and Coun. Sharmarke Dubow opposed.
