Yes, I think you're not getting the point, it's about making the default for bikes and pedestrians now, and treating cars as secondary users, that have their smaller delimited special lane.

Could be something lost in translation, or I'm just usually dense today.

Anyway, is this person saying this as a negative? Because I think it's definitely a positive.

He's supporting this change, he's part of the local government developing it. So he's saying that to illustrate the change of mindset.

As I get it, it's about shifting the perspective from everything is for cars and pedestrians are an after thought to something like everything is for pedestrians except this particular piece of road where cars may drive. From "car first", to "pedestrian first".
