Choosing a power-assisted door opener is the most practical solution when adequate clearance on one side of a door cannot be achieved during remodeling for accessibility. This option enhances accessibility without requiring extensive construction changes or a complete redesign of the space.

Power-assisted doors help individuals with mobility challenges, ensuring that they can operate the door more easily, even in configurations where space constraints might otherwise impede a standard manual door's usability. By ensuring that the door operates smoothly with less physical effort, it creates a more inclusive environment, accommodating a wider range of users.

Other choices, while they may address aspects of accessibility in a broader sense, do not directly remedy the clearance issue efficiently. Proposing demolition and replanning or applying for a building department variance can involve significant time and cost. Building a unisex toilet nearby might enhance overall accessibility but does not resolve the specific problem of the door's clearance, which is critical for safe and independent access.
