I've not played the game for years so I don't even remember it.
Could just be decoration though. Or maybe it's something they wanted to work into the level, similar to canons in other games that shoot you to another part of the level but it got cut for whatever reason and they decided to keep it in the level anyway.
Just watched a video to remind myself and it just looks like decoration to me. It's kind of out of place. Maybe it has something to do with the 'pinball' part of the level or something?
The manual questions if you've ever wondered what it would be like to be a pinball, so I assume Radical City is one big pinball machine shaped into a city. I'm still clueless as to what the structure is supposed to resemble, though.

Haha, Sonic R is one of my favorite Sonic games. Based on your findings I would assume it would be used to launch Sonic into the pinball part of the stage below. When you start the level, it looks like the launcher is aimed toward the pinball portion. That is my assumption.

I think you may be right, actually. This is a view of the course from above:
And this is a pinball launcher, also known as a pinball plunger:
I know it's hard to see, but the structure does appear to resemble the contraption, so I think I'll go with that and include it in my redesign of the course.
