Bill’s blinders

So eager is Mayor de Blasio to destroy the cherished tradition of Central Park carriage horses, he’s doing it the Robert Moses way: bringing in the bulldozers and running roughshod over landmarks laws, not to mention fair play.

The mayor, who failed to outright ban the horses and failed again to move them into a mythical Central Park stable — neither plan could pass City Council muster — has now forced the Department of Transportation to do his bidding through the rule-making process. He’s uprooting the carriage hackline from 59th St., where it been since the Civil War, and putting it inside the park, out of sight from most potential customers.

The move is obviously designed to devastate the little industry and its good union jobs. So carriage operators sued. Manhattan state Supreme Justice Arthur Engoron wrongly denied their initial claim, failing to consider the impact of the banishment on people, not to mention horses.

Rather than wait for a scheduled motion to reargue before the same judge, let alone an appeal to a higher court, the DOT is ripping up historic Belgian block paving stones on a park drive median.

Even more troubling than his legal arrogance is the fact that de Blasio broke city law by altering the protected park without prior approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Nor did he let any of the five Community Boards abutting the park weigh in.

The same guy who used to blast Mayor Bloomberg for tuning out community concerns is wearing bigger blinders now.
