In the Bay Area at least, there has been a movement toward walkable spaces and car-free boulevards as a reaction to COVID. A number of 'main streets' on the peninsula have been closed to cars, to provide space for struggling restaurants to have outdoor dining. People are already talking about saving some of these arrangements post-COVID, but we'll see if it actually happens. I imagine the businesses will worry about parking. As a frequent cyclist to my nearby (now car-free) mini-downtown-and-farmers-market, I'm all for it!
