My town needed to add a lane to a major thoroughfare in a residential area. Over three years, the city council budgeted money to negotiate buyouts of all 40+ properties whose demolition or right-of-way was needed to accomplish the work. No eminent domain was used.

No eminent domain was used.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this mean?

Government power to seize private property for public use (they pay you "market value").
