Town of Sheboygan Falls Weekly: I-43 Work, April 7 Election, Storm Preparedness
It’s a busy early April week for Town of Sheboygan Falls residents, with spring road construction ramping up, Election Day approaching, and storm systems moving through Sheboygan County.
April 7 Spring Election
Voters in the Town of Sheboygan Falls will head to the polls Tuesday, April 7, for Wisconsin’s spring election. Statewide races, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court, headline the ballot, along with local offices and any applicable school or municipal questions.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents should confirm their polling location and bring an acceptable photo ID. Absentee ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
I-43 Construction Continues to Affect Travel
Ongoing and upcoming work along the I-43 corridor in Sheboygan County continues to affect commuters traveling between Sheboygan Falls, Sheboygan, and points south. Regional interchange reconstruction projects are part of broader state highway improvements aimed at safety and traffic flow.
Drivers should plan for lane shifts, ramp closures, and reduced speeds in active work zones. Residents commuting toward Milwaukee or using I-43 for local travel are encouraged to check 511WI before heading out, especially with changing weather conditions this weekend.
Storm Chances and Tornado Preparedness
Southeastern Wisconsin has seen multiple rounds of unsettled weather this week, with additional storm chances moving through Friday into the weekend. While no major damage has been reported locally, emergency officials continue to remind residents to review tornado safety plans as spring severe weather season ramps up.
Town residents should ensure weather alerts are enabled on mobile devices and identify a safe shelter location in their homes. Outdoor warning sirens are designed for people outside and may not be audible indoors.
Local Safety Concerns in Sheboygan County
A brick carrying an antisemitic message was recently thrown through the window of the Sheboygan County Democratic Party office in the City of Sheboygan. While the incident occurred outside the Town of Sheboygan Falls, it has drawn countywide attention and prompted calls for vigilance and reporting of suspicious activity.
Authorities are investigating. Community leaders have encouraged residents across the county to report threats or vandalism and to engage in civil discourse during the final days before the election.
Regional Discussion on Data Centers
A public talk this week examined reported ties between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data centers in Sheboygan and Manitowoc. The discussion, held in Sheboygan, focused on how large-scale data infrastructure may intersect with federal operations.
While no direct changes affecting Town residents were announced, the topic reflects broader conversations about technology, infrastructure, and transparency in Sheboygan County.
Looking Ahead
After Election Day, attention will turn to ongoing spring road work, school activities, and community events as the weather gradually improves. Sunday’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies near 50 degrees, offering a break after a damp start to the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to stay connected with town and county channels for updates on road conditions, meeting notices, and public safety alerts.
