'discord' is the definition.
(I know that discord can be written as strife)

'a way awash' is the wordplay.
'a way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'awash' becomes 'rife' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'st'+'rife'='STRIFE'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strife that I've seen before include "Struggle" , "Conflict, dispute" , "Contention or contest" , "'Discord, conflict (6)'" , "Lack of harmony" .)

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