Although it is good that they added riding bicycle lanes I doubt that is the only reason for the lowering of pollution.
Not only do we have electric and hybrid cars, due to euro standard combustion engines have become a lot cleaner during the same span of time. Plus public transport has also become a lot better during that time.
Well it does have a major impact, less cars -> less congestion -> less polution.
But it has to work in tandem with other changes such as lowering driving speed increasing public transport network with emphasis on network, mandating tighter control on polution.
You could say that the bicycle lanes are an indication of a change in attitude towards car only transportation.

Yeah, car restriction is the key. Then you must plan for people who needs to move. Cars don’t belong to the city, only for leisure trips outside.
Yeah but then you can’t feed the bycicle narrative because of course everybody starting their bikes to.commute those distances!
