Has this been talked about?

Broadly speaking, yes, there is discussion on street parking, especially when it would create a buffer between the sidewalk and the road. There are examples of it being added. However there's more discussion and action on road diets that add pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Adding more parking will encourage people to drive, so it makes more sense to instead focus on transit, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure. Some examples:
