English translation:people [join the parade] arriving from side streets
Explanation:

The original text is here
http://www.aljazeera.net/news/miscellaneous/2014/1/1/لندن-تس...

but it sounds this Arabic is a translation from the English and is not fluent in its Arabic expressions. For example,
"كعاصفة من الموسيقى يتراقص معها المهرجون الذين قدموا ألعابا بهلوانية"
This is a translated expression!
ثم
"إذ لديه قائمة من الرعاة تمثل مستويات أعلى جدا من السلطات الرسمية"
ماذا يعني هذا الكلام؟ رعاة المهرجان أعلى جداً من الحكومة؟
لذلك أعتقد أنها ترجمة، وترجمة خطأ


Now, ويضم جمهور الشوارع الجانبية
المقصود المتفرجون الواقفون على جانبي الشارع
spectators lining up on the sides of streets

or
الناس الوافدون إلى الشارع الرئيسي من الشوارع الجانبية
أي أن الناس يلتحقون بالمسيرة قادمين من شوارع فرعية حتى يصلوا إلى الشارع الرئيسي فينضموا إلى المسيرة
إذن
the parade is joined by people arriving from side streets

Taking a look at the website, this is the parade route (thoroughfare)
http://lnydp.com/lnydp/the-parade/

Among the participants who take part are London boroughs
http://lnydp.com/take-part/london-boroughs/

It says: "At the very heart of London’s New Year’s Day Parade are the fabulous displays and performances given by representatives of each of London’s Boroughs all hoping to win the coveted charity cash prizes that are donated by LNYDP every year to help local charities chosen by each Borough"

Therefore, I think what is meant by ويضم جمهور الشوارع الجانبية
is:
ويشارك فيه ممثلون عن ضواحي مدينة لندن
where representatives of London boroughs take part.
