There's been talk off and on about it especially to KC, but it has never moved beyond the talking stage. Heck there was talk one time of building an all new toll highway to directly connect Wichita and Tulsa because of both city's Boeing facilities.
On a side note, last week a group of city leaders and other people from Wichita's Visoneering Group, made a trip to OKC to understand how the city has grown, developed its downtown, and figure out how its success can also be done in Wichita. The group also visited Forth Worth.
