I know it's important that cities support these kinds of initiatives...

Actually no it isn't, these are the types of initiatives cities should avoid unless they want to go broke.

The days of the bottomless well of taxpayer money for special interests (that's what a velodrome is folks) must end. Our infrastructure is crumbling, the middle class is dwindling, our economy is teetering, poverty is increasing and our political energy and hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on useless shrines to excess and triviality.

No one drives into this city for the first time takes a look around and says "You know what this city is missing? A velodrome."
