Yep, a rat

Just a quick FYI for folks: I've seen a rat close to where I live between Porter and Union.

I've called the city and filed a work order, of course, and I'll be putting out a trap to kill it (please no moralizing; it's not an endangered species and it is a health risk). Just FYI to any in the area with pets or who might otherwise be concerned.

I saw a rat scurry across my front yard and then under our overturned canoe the other day, in broad daylight. Our neighbor is having construction done, and the contractor informed us he has seen it run back and forth several times, and he found it's hole in her front yard. He put out poison (well away from the kids), and my husband found it in "not a good way" yesterday and dispatched of it. I know they are part of city life, but yuck.
