Butler Street Road Diet?

Is Butler Street between 62nd St Bridge and the new Heth's Run Bridge a candidate for a road diet? I'm not sure what all of the requirements are, but considering they were able to squeeze a second inbound lane to accommodate a detour a few years ago, it sure seems like there is enough real estate to house either a wider shoulder, bike lane or both.

Not sure if there's anything specifically in the works already, but @Benzo had suggested it to the Lawrenceville Bike/Ped Committee, and we listed it as one of our longer-range priorities when we and Bloomfield Livable Streets met with Kristin Saunders from the City last month. (It's probably worth noting that not only is it a state-owned road, but it's state highway PA-8, so that could well complicate matters to a significant degree...)
