It's been big in every city here in the US I've visited since the pandemic. Here in Manchester , Boston, Philadelphia, etc. Parking has become somewhat more limited as cities have facilitated restaurants to install outdoor seating on the sidewalk and street, often converting what are normally parking spaces.
I have been using my credit card/electronic payment almost exclusively these last two years. Pre-pandemic I used to regularly get cash out of the ATM, $100 every three weeks or so. I now have about $10.00 in cash left from the last $100 I withdrew in March of 2020.

From your reaction it seemed you did. The limitations of posts as communication
In Toronto, one of the councilors has been pushing for Yonge Street to be turned into a pedestrian mall, for decades now. A little background: Yonge Street apparently has the record for being the longest street in the world. It starts at the shores of Lake Ontario, bisects the City of Toronto, and runs north for more than 1800 Kms. It is a major artery in the city. When lanes are lost due to building construction, traffic backups become heavy. Areas have now had lanes closed so that restaurants can have "patio space" on the street. I don't see this councilor rolling that back any time soon. In fact she seems to be slathering at the mouth over pushing through her dream of a "walkable city."
I work less than 2 Kms north of the south end of Yonge Street. There have been many times that it has taken me more than 45 minutes to drive from work to the lakeshore.
