Illegal Parking at 341 343 Hanover St

As I stated elsewhere, I don’t think those are rat tracks. Rat tracks have pairs of hind and foreprints offset alternating on either side of a trail left by a tail.
Also it’s curious that these protrude and are not imprints. I figure rats around here would sink up to their belly.
It’s a two legged rat. The same one who parked in front of the hydrant.
People are reporting rats on the street? Wow, they must be new to the city…
I think we ALL know, if they are rat tracks, that is a never ending issue that will never ever end, ever. Not the way the garbage is put out in the N.E. Garbage spilling out of the bags, overflowing city barrels, food discarded By outsiders and temporary residents. It’s a shame, but you’ll never see resident barrels in the N.E. There is no room for them on the sidewalks. And those older Italians who use to keep the front of their houses clean are sadly gone long ago.
