Why the terrible beeps on the Hawthorne? The other bridges have nice bells that clang when the bridges are up, you'd think that the bridge that gets the most walking and biking traffic would not turn into an excruciating torture chamber when the lift goes up, especially since it goes up more often than the other bridges do.

How about it, Multnomah County?  For the Hawthorne's 100th, get rid of the annoying beep alert!  Maybe a sweet clangy bell like the Burnside has.
