It’s going to be covered in more than one million native plants!? Are they counting every blade of grass? Most California grasses are non-native. If they manage to have a small patch of native plants the animals might like it too much. They’ll just hang out up there watching the cars go by.

Native plants generally require native habitats to thrive. I have doubts that shallow soils on concrete will support a lot more than weeds. Coyote bush, and maybe a few manzanita might survive. But I don’t think millions of native plants, as was stated in the article, will be sustained by a wildlife overcrossing.
