Sheboygan, Weekly: April 7 Voting Push and Blizzard Cleanup Updates
Sheboygan heads into the final stretch before the April 7 election while crews and residents continue cleaning up from last week’s powerful winter storm. Here’s what to know from the past week — and what’s coming next.
April 7 Election: Early Voting Underway
Early voting has begun in Sheboygan ahead of the April 7 spring election. The ballot includes local and state races, along with school and municipal offices that directly affect city and county governance.
City officials are encouraging voters to confirm polling locations and hours in advance, especially after weather-related disruptions earlier this month. Residents who prefer to vote absentee in person should check deadlines and required ID information to avoid last-minute issues.
Election Day is Tuesday, April 7. Polls are expected to be open throughout the day, and local clerks continue to provide guidance on voter registration, address updates, and absentee ballot returns.
Blizzard Cleanup and Road Conditions
Parts of Sheboygan County saw significant snowfall during the mid-March blizzard, with some areas reporting close to a foot of accumulation. The storm system brought a mix of heavy snow, strong winds, and even thunderstorms to parts of the region.
Public works crews have spent the week clearing snowbanks, widening intersections, and addressing drainage issues as temperatures fluctuate. With daytime highs climbing into the low 60s on Saturday before dropping back into the 30s and 40s Sunday and Monday, melting and refreezing may create slick spots overnight.
Residents are reminded to keep sidewalks clear and ensure storm drains near their properties are not blocked by snow or debris as melting continues.
Comprehensive Plan Open Houses Wrap Up
The City of Sheboygan hosted open houses this week as part of its ongoing Comprehensive Plan update. The plan will guide land use, housing, transportation, and economic development decisions in the coming years.
Residents who attended were able to review draft concepts, ask questions, and provide feedback on future growth priorities. City officials say public input gathered this month will help shape the next draft before it advances to additional review and eventual adoption.
Community members who were unable to attend in person are encouraged to watch for online materials and future opportunities to weigh in.
Spring Break Programming in Full Swing
With Sheboygan-area schools heading into spring break at the end of March, local organizations have begun offering family-friendly programming. Events this week have included youth activities, games, and special programs aimed at keeping students engaged while school is out.
Families should check directly with schools, the Mead Public Library, and local recreation departments for updated schedules, especially as weather conditions may affect some outdoor events.
Looking Ahead
As March winds down, residents can expect continued cleanup from the recent storm, more election reminders as April 7 approaches, and the gradual shift toward spring road maintenance and construction planning.
Voters, property owners, and families are encouraged to stay connected with official city and county channels for the latest updates.
