Where to hold a meeting in the street (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenue

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

'the street' is the definition.
(avenue is a kind of street)

'where to hold a meeting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'venue' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Drive" , "Wide street or path to progress" , "A broad wide street" , "Thoroughfare, boulevard" , "Entrance passage" .)
