Honestly, the entirety of the BQE should be ripped out and burned to the ground. Once this is done, I'd like to think that the people will come together and dance on the ashes to the tune of Fulanito's 1997 hit-song "Cepilla"

And where do you expect the cars and trucks that currently use it to go? You can say that people should use public transportation instead. But what about through traffic? And what about trucks? Trucks obviously can't switch to public transportation, nor can they use the parkways.

The BQE and the stoponus have been a disaster since time immemorial.
oh, the grand street in chinatown has been under constructuon for how long, 3-4 years? i am sure that similar situations with many other streets in lower manhantan exist.
I think Chinatown is pretty accurate, roughly where that large park is where Chinese retirees gamble all day (Columbus Park?). But Foley Square works too. It seems to include the Office of the City Clerk where I got married last month.
in the north and Park Row in the south. The former neighborhood known as Five Points is now split between the Civic Center on the west and south and Chinatown on the east and north.
The name Five Points was derived from the five-pointed intersection created by Orange Street (now Baxter Street) and Cross Street (now Mosco Street);from this intersection Anthony Street (now Worth Street) began and ran in a northwest direction, creating a triangular-shaped block thus the fifth "point". To the west of this "point" ran Little Water Street (which no longer exists) north to south, creating a triangular plot which would become known as Paradise Square or Paradise Park.
Five Points gained international notoriety as a disease-ridden, crime-infested slum that existed for well over 70 years.
I know MOSCO St. very well because I frequently buy the city's cheapest fried pork dumplings there (5/$1.) The Street runs a single block between Mulberry and Mott.

Ideally, most of it should be tunneled so the noise impacts and obstruction are reduced. And the current elevated structure is in bad shape and eventually should be replaced anyway. Of course there's no money.
