I saw swimming pools, running tracks, velodromes and gymnasia that had been built with money that had not been provided by the state.
There are a number of issues involved, one being the vexed question of the velodrome.
I am talking about the loss of a velodrome, which is definitely a sports and recrational facility.
We should have lotteries aimed at particular targets, such as to build a velodrome.
We must face the fact that we cannot have an open-air velodrome.
Because of a whole series of circumstances and because of an unwillingness to pay the money to cover the velodrome last time around, we now have an unsatisfactory velodrome.
Everyone who rides the velodrome must be track certified.
Until 1989, the arena had clay tracks for athletics (and originally also for cycle races, though it has never been anything like a velodrome).
