The pandemic was great for my city (San Francisco) in this regard---they shut/heavily discouraged a bunch of streets to through traffic for a number of "slow streets." Kids and adults alike run, bike, scooter, etc. in the middle of these streets. Obviously people love them, so they remained after the pandemic (at least, the one's I'm familiar with remain).
It's not a full-on car ban, but it's a start!
