Zone 2 parking permit holders coming onto the Brock University campus this week should watch for live updates on parking capacity.

Additional parking spaces in Zone 2 were opened Monday, Jan. 6, providing nearly 300 paved and 350 gravel spaces on campus.

Live updates on how many spaces are available will be provided on the Brock University Twitter account as well as on the University homepage at Brocku.ca

If Zone 2 fills up, parking is also available in the temporary overflow lot which has been set up at Merrittville Speedway, located at 2371 Merrittville Highway, about five kilometres south of campus.

Zone 2 parking permit holders may park in the overflow lot and will then be driven to campus on free shuttle buses. Those without a permit can buy a daily $6 pass for the overflow lot through the HONK mobile app using Zone ID 2458. Parking attendants will monitor the overflow lot and security will be patrolling the area.
