Cars continues to ignore the stop signs posted. They fly through them all the time. PLEASE can someone come out and investigate and possibly come up with a solution such as possible traffic light or blinking caution light! Lots of children live and play in this area.

I agree, speeding here is a MAJOR issue. Since enforcement is next to useless and the police district manager has said it is difficult to maintain as a priority, given limited cop resources, the best solution would be to narrow the travel lanes significantly so that cars have to slow.
This can be done with temporary curb extensions for very little cost, until funding becomes available to install permanent infrastructure, like the ones currently being put in in East Shore, East Rock and Westville (at the current rate of construction, Newhallville will eventually get such infrastructure, but it will take dozens of years to roll them out everywhere they are needed).
Another short-term solution would be to drop a huge block of concrete in the middle of the intersection, with reflectors on it, like what Berkeley, CA and many other cities do.
I'm not sure why the city isn't working to improve quality of life by rolling out temporary infrastructure like this.

The speed humps on Front Street, and in other areas of New Haven, seem to be working well.
This article describes how investments like these can prevent crimes from happening within neighborhoods: http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/library/details.cfm?id=3970
Has anyone considered completing a "complete streets" request form? Forms are available at http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/Engineering/completestreets.asp and I would be happy to help with a draft if a group of residents in this area wanted to make a request for traffic calming.
