That prospect deeply alarms Bostonians, who think the city already has a big enough rat problem. The rodents roam around Chinatown, and were recently spotted in city hall for the first time in memory. Says Mark Iapicca, who runs a parking lot beneath the elevated Central Artery: "There are already more rats than people around here, and they're bigger than my dog. They're underground now, but what happens when they go aboveground...
