SAN JOSE — Google has taken ownership of some small downtown San Jose parcels that date back to the era of the Wild West in deals that help the search giant push ahead with its game-changing new transit village.

The properties consist of slices and small chunks of some roadways within the footprint of a new neighborhood that Google has proposed near the Diridon train station and SAP Center that would consist of office buildings, homes, shops, restaurants, entertainment hubs, cultural loops and parks.
