OVERVIEW
The Real Estate Division of the Department of General Services is processing a request from the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), who manage Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APN) 584-550-75, 584-550-76, 585-100-21, 590-110-06, 590-110-08, to summarily vacate portions of Dairy Road adjacent to the Sweetwater Bike Park, and portions of both Faxon Street (formerly Sweetwater Avenue) and Kempton Street (formerly San Diego Avenue) that bisect DPR property near the "Sweetwater Loop Trail Segments 5-7 and the Lakeview Staging Area" DPR project.
