As per a press release from the City Comptroller's office today:

THOMPSON STATEMENT ON TERMINATION OF CONTRACT TO CREATE WATER PARK ON RANDALL'S ISLAND

New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today issued the following statement following the City's decision to terminate a contract awarded to Randall's Island Aquatic Leisure, LLC to develop a massive water park on Randall's Island:

I would like to thank Mayor Bloomberg for terminating this contract and initiating a new process to best meet the needs of the community. I look forward to working with the Mayor in a collaborative, inclusive discussion.

As I have said from the outset, any development of Randall's Island should be through a transparent process and involve all stakeholders. I am hopeful that today's announcement will lead to improved recreational opportunities on Randall's Island to benefit city residents.

I guess kids will have to keep peeing in Lasker Pool.
