I got it now, your solution for those in wheelchairs is too carry this just in case. Pave their way.
Seriously, I don't see how your suggestion helps anyone in a wheelchair when they approach a sidewalk that isn't traversable. I thought it was obvious that the debate lies in that chunk of time between the appearance of the obstacle and the removal of the obstacle.
It's not just broken sidewalks. A fallen tree from a storm or the more frequent 'parked car' are all it takes for someone in a wheelchair to be SOL.
