Councilor Charles Yancey (Dorchester, Mattapan) said Boston has been “ripped apart by violence” at Wednesday’s Boston City Council meeting, following recent bloodshed in Mattapan, adding that the government should step up efforts to address the violence.

Citing 75 homicides in the past year, Yancey called for public hearings to discuss community policing and social services for victims of community violence, which Councilor-At-Large Felix Arroyo said that he supported.

Yancey cited the unsolved triple shooting at Mattapan’s Gallvin Community Center, which happened early Sunday morning, that left two people dead and has been covered extensively by the media.

“What we don’t see is the traumatic impact that has on the hearts and minds of the residents,” Yancey said. “Our city has been ripped apart by violence.”

Yancey also said he seeks basic social services to help communities cope with the violence.

“It would involve counseling and training for city employees.” Yancey said, adding that after Sunday’s shootings, the city “did not even have anyone even come by the area to clean the blood off the steps of someone’s home, which is indicative of the neglect in that area of the city.”

A resident was forced to clean the steps himself, Yancey said.

Yancey also pointed out that most of the 75 homicides that occurred citywide last year have yet to be solved.

“We’re talking about human beings and the shock they experience,” he said. “We should never accept the violence and we should never accept the trauma.”

Touching upon another issue concerning city residents and visitors, Councilor John Tobin (Jamaica Plain, Roxbury) called for the city to explore options for visitor parking in Boston.

“This is a situation that’s become an impediment,” Tobin said of the current two-hour parking limit.

Councilor Jerry McDermott (Allston, Brighton) agreed that a visitor permit parking program is a “worthwhile measure to continue to explore.” McDermott then referenced Cambridge’s parking system, which makes permits available to parking visitors.

Councilor Maureen Feeney (Harbor Islands, Dorchester) said the lack of a visitor-parking program has caused caretakers, hospice workers and construction workers to receive parking tickets for parking in neighborhoods where they may work, but for which they do not have parking permits. Such cases, Feeney said, need to be dealt with because workers should be protected against parking violations in the area where they work.

Councilor Yancey also discussed school bus safety, the potential renovation of a high school in Mattapan and speed bumps, among other issues.

But slight tension mounted as Councilor Michael Ross (Back Bay, Fenway) called attention to the number of Yancey’s orders on the council agenda. Counting 27 items on the agenda, Ross said that 81 minutes could potentially be devoted to only Yancey speaking.

“It’s the first time on my watch that someone’s filed 27 dockets in one hearing,” Ross said.

Nonetheless, each of Yancey’s orders was covered, from violence to speed bumps.

“Every neighborhood would love to have speed bumps on their streets,” Yancey said.
