Not necessarily, it depends on how wide the existing right-of-way is. For instance, on Burnet north of 183 the existing right-of-way is much wider than the current roadway (you can sort of see this in how far back all of the businesses and parking lots are set). So additional lanes/bike lanes/transit could be added there in the existing profile.
But yeah, on Lamar south of 183 any additional widening/lanes are probably going to require acquisition/eminent domain. Which both ups the price a bunch and slows down the build process.
