A new wave of opposition has emerged against the proposed Oxford Street East Cycleway, with Paddington funeral director Chris Anson warning the project could interfere with funeral processions and access to local churches. The article reports growing concern among some residents, business owners and community groups who argue the cycleway extension could create additional congestion and impact traditional community activities along Oxford Street. The Paddington Cycleway Community Alliance continues to advocate for an alternative route via Moore Park Road rather than Oxford Street.
