I love the thought of the look on that waiter's face, BY!
the layout of streets
I think you have it exactly there, Flats. It does indeed sound very much like chemin + ~ation from analogy with other English formations. I suppose all borrowings from other languages must start somewhere - perhaps Caradea has just found one. So in plain English the phrase might have been referring to the layout of buildings and roads.
