We have a cheer for Janet White, director of Carriage Horse Freedom in Philadelphia. A longtime advocate of banning horse-drawn carriages in Philadelphia and replacing them with electric horseless carriages, she recently put her money where her heart is, and bought one of her own.
Now, with support from Councilmember Mark Squilla, who represents Old City, she plans to showcase her new electric carriage for riders on July Fourth in Old City. If all goes well, White hopes the carriage, purchased from a Florida company, could be street ready for a trial period beginning in August.
