Ewing Green Team Action Prioritization Matrix Community Visioning Summary
Summary of Key Performance Areas and Actions Selected
Key Performance Area Visioning Actions Description/Comment Sustainable Jersey Actions
Community Branding Sustainability Promotion for residents.
Identify Sustainability hero as an example
in much the way Sustainable Jersey does
and promote Township website, Green
Team website…
identify Sustainability heroes as examples –
promote; EEC, GT, Construction Ofc collaborate to
ID. Honor a resident on a monthly or quarterly
basis with a writeup as to what they have done to
earn the title as a Ewing's Sustainability Hero.
Green Challenge?
Community Branding Sustainability Recognition for businesses identify Sustainability business hero and promote;
Possible partners include Bob Prunetti, Heather
Kearns Latini, MidJersey C of C, ETRA. Promotion
might include the following - promotion of the
business on prominent place on Township
website, Green Team business leader on website -
article - logo for store display....
Green Business Recognition
Community Branding Arts and Culture inventory Partner with the Arts Commission, encouraging
them to lead with the GT assisting.
Creative Asset Inventory (may also
include establishment of creative
team (i.e. Arts Commission) and
Creative Placemaking. This also ties
into Community asset map

Summary of Key Performance Areas and Actions Selected
Key Performance Area Visioning Actions Description/Comment Sustainable Jersey Actions
Community Engagement Promote Neighborhood Associations It was felt that one of the best ways to develop
community was to start within local
neighborhoods, where people mix with their
neighbors daily. The idea here is to promote
establishment or re-establishment of associations
in neighborhoods in town where there are none to
promote specific neighborhood agendas and
foster community engagement. There are a
couple of strong neighborhood associations in
town that we could model after. Regular
meetings of these associations would then
promote more community unity. A Council of
Neighborhood Associations might then be
encouraged to form that could advocate common
concerns.
Community Engagement Map of Neighborhoods/Places of Interest In order to plan to build neighborhood
associations, you have to know the neighborhoods
and their boundaries. Our plan here would be to
create a map of the over 50 neighborhoods that
have currently been identified in town.
Community Asset Mapping
Community Engagement Welcoming Committee/Center Formation of a "Welcome Wagon" at Township
wide level. Ideal location for a Welcome Center is
at the ESCC. This could provide new residents
(and old) with handouts, brochures about existing
services, clubs, churches, and service groups in
town so that they can more easily become
engaged in township life.

Key Performance Area Visioning Actions Description/Comment Sustainable Jersey Actions
Conservation and PreservationIncrease strategic plantings of trees
throughout town
Partner with the Ewing Environmental
Commission perhaps using monies from CSIP
grant. Residents were also looking for more tree
lined streets as well as increased plantings in
public spaces.
Tree Protection Ordinance, Tree
Hazard Inventory, Tree Maintenance
Program, Assessment of Municipal
Trees, Community Forestry Plan
Conservation and PreservationImprove bike and pedestrian conditions
including, but not limited to, increasing the
number of trails, improving overall trail
connectivity (including connecting to the
canal trail).
There is intense interest in improving conditions in
town for biking and walking. Increasing and
improving a town trail network to improve
connectivity for better transit throughout town
would relieve the burden of improving bike lanes
on narrow streets, although better signage and
striping for bike transportation on the roads in
town was desired and well as better defined
crossings for pedestrians and traffic calming
measures. A Bike Advocacy Committee has been
an offshoot of this process and is already meeting.
Possible partnering with the NJ DOT and County
Planer Matt Lawson
Bike/Pedestrian and Bike Master Plan
Conservation and PreservationHeritage Tours to historical sites and
include improve trail marking for
Crossroads of the Am Revolution historical
sites in town
Collaborate with the Historical Society and the
Arts Commission as part of the creative assets
inventory for Sustainable Jersey credit
Arts Culture? Do, then part of creative
assets inventory?
Development Directory of local businesses (including
maps) for Community Services. On
Township website and in print, so that
residents will know what is available in
town

Key Performance Area Visioning Actions Description/Comment Sustainable Jersey Actions
Development Development of Volunteer Groups to (1)
assist with maintenance of Parks, Highways
(of public spaces) that Township
maintenance staff doesn't normally cover
and (2) assist shut ins to help with home
maintenance chores so that they can keep
and live in their homes.
The Ewing Environmental Commission already
leads on trail cleanups in town - (1) would be an
expansion of that idea. (2) would be on the order
of Habitat for Humanity or work that Isles does.

Energy Home performance with Energy Star –
Municipal Program - Select a single energy
audit contractor and launch a municipal
wide “Energy Audit and Upgrade Program.”
Check out possible free or low cost audits from
PSE&G or BPU. Whether we need to select a
contractor for the audits or not, we should create
a campaign for promotion of home energy audits
for residents
Home performance with Energy Star
– Municipal Program & Outreach
Energy Home performance with Energy Star –
Outreach - Create an online clearinghouse
for information about the Home
Performance Program. The site should
identify the basic elements you
recommend residents should demand in
their audits, and a list of auditors in the
area
Can be done on the Township website if they
would promote a page of links that we could
supply with write ups or could be done on the
Green Team website.

Local Economy Support local businesses - buy local,

communication and outreach is critical,
create a directory of local businesses, web-

Hear from and model after the experts in
Princeton. Have Mid Jersey C of C help identify
leading Ewing business owners who may then be
encouraged and assisted to develop appropriate
programs.
Support Local Business
Local Economy Beautify Ewing Campaign, originally
thought of for businesses because more
attractive businesses will attract more
customers, but should be expanded to a
township wide campaign.
ETRA, Chamber of Commerce for businesses? How
tie in to sustainable? Partner with West Trenton
Garden Club, Ewing Environmental Commission
for residents? Can also tie in to native
plantings…?
Local Economy Create vibrant events for businesses Business owners should express the Who, What,
Where, Why and When for a better chance of
success.

Waste and Recycling Community Free Cycle This idea expands our current drop off recycling
center at Public Works. It involves the creation of
an "in person" Freecycle center where residents
can drop off goods that are still in good condition
and able to be reused for others to pick up free of
charge. There are numerous trucks and
organizations that could also pick up items if they
remain unclaimed for too long. Where to house
and who and how to manage?

Waste and Recycling Education of recycling and trash practices
(medical waste included) and Hazardous
Waste Education
One possible action here is a Ewing map layer of
places for drop off of various materials for
recycling. A mapping project is already underway
using student volunteers at the Bonner Center at
TCNJ. The anticipated product at the end of this
project is a series of printable (and online) map
layers, in this case of drop off locations of all
recyclable materials in town from clothing drops,
to plastic bags, to batteries and more.
Recycle Education & Enforcement

including Compost Education and Food
Waste
Food Waste is a long term action. Ewing could
model after Princeton and Lawrence and
collaborate with Mercer County per the recent
10/28Tuesday 7 pm Food Waste education event
at the Dempster Fire School. There are also many
Sustainable Jersey examples of Backyard Compost
Education programs that we could model after.
Possible partner - Master Gardeners?

Rate 1 - Low, 2 - Medium, 3 - High Achievability Can the Green Team and the Township of Ewing achieve this Action or are there too many barriers to success? Rate 1 - Low, 2 - Medium, 3 - High Management Capacity Does the Green Team have the capacity to manage this action or will outside assistance be needed? Rate 1 - Low, 2 - Medium, 3 - High Cost What are the costs associated with this action? Rate 1 - High, 2 - Medium, 3 - Low Actions with yellow highlighting were selected during the October meeting.
