There is space, but it's really a short stretch (Charles to Courtland, only three blocks) and it doesn't connect with any other bicycle routes -- although the last bit of Benton (which is two lanes only) ends not too far from the Iron Horse Trail.
Not saying it's a bad idea, but by itself it wouldn't achieve much, it would need to be part of a bigger plan.
