Street where the meeting is to take place? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenue

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

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

'the meeting is to take place?' is the wordplay.
'the meeting' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'is to take' says to put letters next to each other.
'place?' becomes 'venue' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'venue'='AVENUE'

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "A broad wide street" , "A line of approach" , "Broad tree-lined road" , "Double row of trees" , "Way of approach" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
