Fontvieille's escalators at Léo Ferré Plaza and Zoo Gardens return to service with energy-efficient upgrades
The district's mechanical staircases resume operation featuring improved energy efficiency and enhanced technical specifications.
The mechanical staircases serving Léo Ferré Plaza and the Zoo Gardens in Fontvieille have reopened following a comprehensive upgrade programme. The new installations mark a significant improvement in both functionality and environmental performance for this busy pedestrian area.
The replacement escalators consume considerably less energy than their predecessors while incorporating several technical enhancements. A key feature allows automatic restart following accidental emergency stops, reducing service interruptions that previously inconvenienced residents and visitors.
Maintenance operations have been streamlined through improved design, requiring fewer technical interventions and minimising downtime periods. The installations also feature dynamic LED lighting systems that enhance safety and visibility throughout operating hours.
These upgrades reflect Monaco's ongoing commitment to modernising public infrastructure while reducing environmental impact, ensuring reliable access between different levels of this popular residential and leisure district.
