5th and Spring's Celia commented on previous post about the chase; she also heard the 'copters and thought it was filming, of which she wasn't notified (again). I went over to see if a FilmLA website pilot program that once posted closures was active again. It was down for a few months. It's now back up. There is a spot where you can get "up to 72 hour notice" of filming with notes like: "FULL CLOSURE 5th St. from Spring St. to Main St. 4/25/07, 4/26/07, 9:00a-3:00p"
The biggest downtown-centric item I found at the website is this. FilmLA has just posted new Downtown Rules due to "the rapid influx of new residents and businesses had brought many changes to the neighborhood's availablity for filming." It's in PDF form and includes rules like number 6:
A FilmL.A. Monitor will now be required for all activity in the Old Bank District, bordered by 2nd, Spring, Hill, and Main Streets.
I think it has something to do with Downtown being the 3rd "bloggiest" neighborhood.

Good question. Olympic perhaps, or left open to infinity
