"The van will be clearly marked, complete with four-way flashers," says Port Hope Area Initiative project ■ specialist, Mark Gardiner. "The van will be moving slowly, at 10 to 20 kilometres per hour." All information collected over the next few weeks will be analyzed over' the winter, with a report expected i some time in the spring. ; Mayor Rick Austin says the sur- ■ vey is another positive step forward for the town.
