An evasive trick in the City (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dodge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'an evasive trick' is the first definition.
'dodge' can be an answer for 'trick' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'an evasive' bit.

'the city' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Western city' mean 'dodge' so perhaps 'city' could also mean 'dodge')

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Avoid - ruse" , "Ploy" , "Evade; ruse" , "Evade - trick" , "A quick evasive movement" .)
