I agree that some road cuts make for better alterna habitat than a lot of natural habitat does (like around Langtry?) but even so when you look at alterna habitat from above or from a distance, all the roadside represent is a whispy thread of accessible land.
Think of it this way . . . you've got a man with a full head of hair, and you pluck one. When it grows back, you pluck that same hair again. And again. Unless something else is going on, he's still got a full head of hair (Plucking one hair each time it grows back is akin to all the take along the roadside per year in my analogy). If you've got a receding hair line, thinning hair, or male pattern baldness, then you don't want to pluck any . . . but alterna populations seem to be rather stable or possibly expanding, so plucking that hair doesn't hurt at all.
