Good morning, Sioux Falls.

Sunny's Pizzeria in Sioux Falls launched its fifth annual Pizza Hunt challenge on April 1st by hiding wooden tokens across the city to give away 60 free pizzas.

Participants must share a picture of a token to claim a free pizza at 1801 South Walts Avenue — clues are posted on the restaurant's Facebook and Instagram pages.

Since opening in 2021, Fair Market has expanded into larger spaces and now operates a 10,000 square foot store on Minnesota Avenue in central Sioux Falls.

The store offers staples+seasonal items from freezers and coolers while accepting EBT and has combined its former east and west side locations to improve management.

On Tuesday in central Sioux Falls, police attempted to arrest parole absconder Samir Albaidhani on West 12th Street when he fired at officers and injured one who was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening wounds, and after he stole a vehicle, Highway Patrol pursued him on I-29 until he was struck by their fire.

Minnehaha County Commission appointed Jacob Maras as Highway Superintendent Tuesday—he will manage a $17.7 million construction budget for 200 bridges and 347 miles of roadway while using his experience from working in the department since 2017.

Sioux Falls saw a strong first quarter in building activity as permit values reached $229.5 million, a 44% increase over last year.

Commercial additions and remodels led the growth with $93.7 million in projects (including large projects like the CJ Schwan’s foundation permit), showing robust market demand.

The construction on I-229 at Cliff Avenue will resume Monday, April 7 as crews start new lighting, signals, and mainline work with improvements costing $48 million planned for completion by June 2027.

Northbound traffic will be diverted onto a temporary bridge with nighttime lane closures in place during the first week of April while southbound traffic shifts one week later.
