That's really expensive. If people in Austin are serious about wanting less traffic then they need to get used to more U-Turns. For example, The 183 project is eliminating crossovers at 51st, Techni Center and Bolm. They'll have protected U-Turns at the other crossings as well as at a creek between MLK and the lake. You make drive further but it'll mostly take you less time.
That being said, it's possible that some of the proposals in these studies change and obviously that some of them won't have the money to be constructed at all.
It's possible they put limited funds in Riverside from the 2016 bond and instead wait until a mass transit 2020 bond to fund the improvements.
I mean, this is all contingent on Adler winning re-election. If Morrison wins and Kitchen/Houston are re-elected then you can kiss a billion dollar 2020 deal goodbye.
