Is asphalt a viable option? And can asphalt be installed on top of the existing concrete or must it also be removed? Would asphalt be any cheaper? Other options? I guess leaving it as it is may also be an option.

Asphalt should be multiple times cheaper and I would have the old concrete removed because if some of it is breaking up, the rest might too and I think they expand and contract at different rates- the main drag by my house is asphalt over concrete and with our freeze thaw year, it is so pot holed that it is ridiculous.
Side benefit if it snows where you live is the black color melts snow better than concrete.
