Dolomites closed down for motorcycles?
 

Hopefully a april fool but they are considering to close down the Italian parts of the dolomites for motorcycles this summer.
That's a real pitty because it has some of the most stunning roads of Europe.

for example: Pordoi pass, stelvio pass, de Sella Ronde, and the road around the marmolade.

I personally was planning to go there this summer on a holiday trip.
I'm dutch and the dutch news has not really a good translation about the real news from italianpress.

Is there someone able to translate it to English? it
can be found here?
Dolomiti,

It just says that maybe, someday, eventually, if ever, they will limit access to motor vehicles (doesn't say anything specific about bikes), on 4 major alpine passes in the dolomites during some hours of the day, or maybe even do something as unpopular as making them into toll roads.

As you may have noticed we (I'm Italian) have some clowns in power down here, and they like to shout a lot, but never actually get around to actually doing anything.

I wouldn't worry much about it.
