Essentially it would extend St. Matthews into the campus, but for AT only. I believe the do own most of the (empty) lots in that area, so it might not be that far off.
Looking at the map, I can see what looks like a potential route, but it would require some sort of crossing infrastructure at Maryland and Sherbrook. Also, there have been some recent safety concerns and incidents along the path between UW's main campus and the Science Building on Langside and Portage. To connect with St. Matthews, you would basically extend this route further west through some other dodgy areas. I think the folks at UW may not be so keen to do this, especially since they no longer have students housed at Lions Manner.
