A meeting-place's thoroughfares (7)

I believe the answer is:

avenues

'thoroughfares' is the definition.
(avenue is a kind of thoroughfare)

'a meeting-place's' is the wordplay.
'meeting-place's' becomes 'venue's'.
'a'+'venues'='AVENUES'

(Other definitions for avenues that I've seen before include "Approaches" , "City streets or methods of approach" , "Tree-lined roads" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
