The mayor of Edina, Minn., said officials were taking steps to improve relations between the police and minority residents after a white officer’s arrest of a black man who was walking in the street to avoid construction work on a sidewalk last week prompted an outcry.

The measures were outlined in a five-page announcement, titled “Questions People Are Asking,” that was posted on the city’s website Tuesday. They include a review of police arrest procedures, more bias training for officers and a request for input from the N.A.A.C.P. in Minneapolis on how to collect demographic data on traffic stops.

The mayor, James Hovland, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday that the steps would be taken despite the city’s conclusion that the officer, Lt. Tim Olson, had followed proper procedures when arresting Larnie Thomas, 34, on Oct. 12 for walking in the street and, according to the Edina Police Department, blocking traffic.
