Highlands Bathroom Access
The Board of Directors has approved a plan to allow access to the bathrooms at Highlands facilities.
Due to the increased usage of the pickleball courts, there is a need to provide restrooms. Access will be given to the Highlands Pool bathrooms with the installation of an additional fence section to keep within Wake County Pool Compliance.
In the interim, a porta john has been placed temporarily at the Highlands parking lot.
This expenditure will be funded from the Reserve budget.
Thank to everyone for their patience.

Breaking News!!! Traffic Calming Coming To Highlands
The Town of Cary has advised us that the contract is in place to begin installation of traffic calming devices along Loch Highlands Drive. Residents should be seeing construction cones very soon. This will be the culmination of a formal five-year effort to reduce speeding and improve safety along the roadway.
The traffic calming measures include:
- Raised crosswalk at the playground greenway path
- Five speed humps along Loch Highlands Drive
- New, improved signage
- Radar speed signs will remain in place
The Town of Cary is covering all of the costs for these improvements. There will be no special assessments or additional fees.
Please be careful as you drive through the construction areas.
Please visit www.lochmere.org and check the Ad Hoc Traffic Committee’s web page for additional information and updates.
If you would like to see a map of the project showing the locations for the traffic calming devices, please visit the Town of Cary’s website as follows:

Entrance Sign Update -- APRIL 29
APRIL 29 UPDATE
We have had three newly designed large entrance signs installed this week.
- Birkhaven
- Lochmere Highlands West
- Lochmere Highlands
We still have some work to do on the lighting in the next few weeks.
The next signs to be installed are at Piney Plains and Bourne Wood, and then the two signs at Lochmere Dr. and Kildaire Farm Rd.
The last of the smaller signs to be refurbished should begin next week.
Two larger signs on Kildaire Farm Rd. and Cary Parkway are still in the permitting stage with Town of Cary.
JANUARY UPDATE
The other large signs are going to be replaced soon .Hopefully you have seen some of the refurbished small entrance signs that Lochmere maintains being put back in place. So far our contractor has refurbished about nine of them in addition to the four in Highlands completed in January.
The remaining signs will take a little longer because the contractor is waiting on materials to arrive so they can construct new faces, etc.
The remaining signs to be refurbished are:
- Lochview at Lochview Drive
- Lochview at Sylvan Grove
- Lochview South at Southbank Drive
- Lochside Glen at Coltsgate Drive
- Lochside at Fox Briar Lane
- Lochside at Wood Lilly Lane
- Lochstone Lane
The larger entrance signs with the new design are being worked on in stages. We hope some of these can be installed the beginning April. These signs are:
- Lochmere Lakeside
- Lochmere Parkside
- Lochmere sign on Piney Plains Road
- Lochmere sign on Kildaire Farm Road
These signs are part of the Reserve Study and funded from Reserves.
