Duck, aircraft are monitored by whatever surveillance method they are in range of and equipped with.

There was never any intention of removing radars, in fact they're all being updated. ADS-B was never intended as a replacement for radar but as a relatively cheap means of extending surveillance coverage.

For the cost of installing and maintaining one radar you can install and maintain something like 30 ADS-B ground stations.
