Fair enough, but then I'd claim that the Domain area of Burnet is in about the same boat. At the time, it was part of the North Lamar flip book.

"US 183/Rundberg/Burnet
Potential to partner with TxDOT to use
extensive ROW along US 183 from Lamar
to Burnet to connect to Northgate Blvd
and Rundberg Ln, where a station could be
built to connect existing apartments to the
multiple job opportunities found along the
rest of the corridor. High capacity transit
(HCT) could join Burnet Road to reach the
Domain, taking advantage of dedicated lanes
envisioned by the City of Austin’s N Burnet
corridor plan, which is eligible for 2016
mobility bond construction funding.
Anderson Ln/Burnet
The other most likely option would be to
deviate from N Lamar at Anderson Lane.
This would provide an opportunity to
add a station near the Anderson/Burnet
intersection, which could transform into
a transit supportive node of mixed-use
development. Although the City of Austin’s
N Burnet Corridor Plan does not envision
dedicated transit facilities south of US 183,
ample ROW exists to construct HCT and
maintain existing travel and bicycle lanes
and improve pedestrian amenities."
For both Berkman and Burnet, there's documented previous ideas to have transit-only lanes.
Whether the initial 2020 plan will include them is still unknown.
