Currently the traffic enters BQE on one local street and exits it most likely far away. When BQE is removed, the traffic will go through a lot of local streets, increasing noice and air pollution in residential areas.

not remove, but rather replace. put the BQE underground.

This is VERY expensive. A lot of new subway lines could be built at the same cost.

yes, cost was mentioned in my original post.
