The Sanitation Department is getting into the loop to rid the streets of all that horse poop.
One day after The Post reported that Lower East Side residents were fuming about the mounds of manure left behind every weekend by police horse patrols on club-clogged streets, Mayor Bloomberg said he was “not unsympathetic” to their smelly plight and would seek a solution.
“It is one of these things of just resources, and we’ll take a look at it and see if there is some ways to do it,” the mayor said.
Within hours, Sanitation spokesman Vito Turso said his agency may very well ride to the rescue “in coordination with the Police Department.”
While there is no Sanitation Department unit specially assigned to horse “duty,” there are motorized litter patrols that could be dispatched, Turso said.
