1. avenue

   Wherever there is room for one object to pass another there is a way. A road (originally a rideway) is a prepared way for traveling with horses or vehicles, always the latter unless the contrary is expressly stated; a way suitable to be traversed only by foot-passengers or by animals is called a path, bridle-path, or track; as, the roads in that country are mere bridle-paths. A road may be private; a highway or highroad is public, highway being a specific name for a road legally set apart for the use of the public forever; a highway may be over water as well as over land. A route is a line of travel, and may be over many roads. A street is in some center of habitation, as a city, town, or village; when it passes between rows of dwellings the country road becomes the village street. An avenue is a long, broad, and imposing or principal street. Track is a word of wide signification; we speak of a goat-track on a mountain-side, a railroad-track, a race-track, the track of a comet; on a traveled road the line worn by regular passing of hoofs and wheels in either direction is called the track. A passage is between any two objects or lines of enclosure, a pass commonly between mountains. A driveway is within enclosed grounds, as of a private residence. A channel is a waterway. A thoroughfare is a way through; a road or street temporarily or permanently closed at any point ceases for such time to be a thoroughfare. Compare AIR; DIRECTION.

   Synonyms:
   alley, bridle-path, channel, course, driveway, highroad, highway, lane, pass, passage, passageway, path, pathway, road, roadway, route, street, thoroughfare, track, way

How to use avenue in a sentence?

1. Zach Johnson:

   I love going over there and competing. I love stretching myself. I love being uncomfortable, it is going to be hard. But it’s also just a beautiful opportunity to go out there and give these guys an avenue to be themselves and play with freedom and that’s kind of how I’m going to approach it.

2. Brendan Fay:

   As soon as we turned onto the avenue, there was a great cheer for us, it was an extraordinary moment. It was very profound. There was a lot of tears, a lot of joy.

3. Andrew Padilla:

   The group I was with protested at Columbus Circle for two hours in the rain, then took the streets from 7th avenue through Times Square and reached Grand Central where we just kept bumping into new( people). It was beautiful.

4. Denny Heck:

   Unfortunately, when all is said and done, the answer is abundantly clear, there is nothing that could have. It is as though the President's boast that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight and get away with Fifth Avenue in broad daylight was manifest. That takes its toll.

5. Nick Saban:

   Now we have a situation where we don’t want anybody to fail, so we create an avenue to do something else if things get difficult, yet, no one really can be successful in life if they can’t overcome adversity, because you’re always going to have adversity in life. So you almost have to fail to succeed in a lot of ways.
