Apparently, this is rebuild that is necessary so it doesn’t collapse? Hopefully

ITT people don’t see where the BQE traffic is- near bridges and tunnels. Cross borough public transit won’t fix NJ, Manhattan and NJ commuting

The 3 lanes now already spill over to residential lanes - see Columbia and Park as an example. Add in the factor that the majority of this traffic is caused by Staten Island and New Jersey commuters, will have to work on the public transit in those areas first.
Any study that to any study that touts the benefit of public transit over additional lanes of Highway needs to be scrutinized and contextualized properly in order to compare it to the complex systems we have a New York City.
