Residents, employees, business owners and visitors who travel the Main Street/Easton Avenue corridor between the Bound Brook and New Brunswick train stations are invited to share their ideas in an online survey for the Main Street/Easton Avenue Corridor Study being conducted by Somerset and Middlesex counties.

The survey focuses on travel patterns along the corridor and seeks to identify mobility issues and strategies to improve driving, public transit, walking and biking conditions in the area.

Go to "Easton Avenue Survey" on the RideWise homepage at www.ridewise.org to take a short survey. Responses are requested by mid-December.

Middlesex and Somerset counties received a planning grant from the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) to prepare a Main Street/Easton Avenue Corridor Plan.

The plan will address potential roadway improvements; transit-service enhancements; smart-growth land-use and circulation possibilities; bicycle and pedestrian usage; and intelligent-transportation systems. It will include proposed short-, medium- and long-term improvements for Bound Brook, South Bound Brook, Franklin Township and for the City of New Brunswick.

For more information about the survey or the study, contact Somerset County Principal Planner Kenneth Wedeen at (908) 231-7021 or wedeen@co.somerset.nj.us.

From household cleaning supplies to clothing, everything is going green. The same goes for the real estate market. Many potential home buyers want eco-friendly Piscataway real estate in NJ. Before you simply buy a home that's touted as green, consider these few tips for finding a truly green home.

1. Work with an expert

It may be difficult for you to figure out what criteria designate a green home. That's why it's important to seek out a green Piscataway real estate professional whose main focus is to help you sort through fact from fiction in the green housing industry.

2. Buy in an eco-friendly neighborhood

Purchasing green Piscataway real estate doesn't necessarily mean the location will be environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, buyers may not factor in this detail. If your neighborhood is in the heart of Piscataway, you may be exposed to more car emissions. Also, access to green amenities like bike and walking trails, may be limited.

3. Add your own green touches

Sometimes the home you find could be perfect with just a few small changes. If you want to make a home green, you have a variety of options. You could add natural flooring, install more insulation to help with energy costs and use non-toxic paint.

Before buying green Piscataway real estate in New Jersey, or any home for that matter, take your time and do your research. Many people are jumping on the popularity of going green, so it's smart to remain skeptical until you know and understand all the facts.
